I thought this quote on marriage was apropos since I've recently had 2 daughters take the plunge:“When I look at my friend’s marriages, with their routine day-to-dayness, they actually seem far more romantic than any dating relationship might be.
Dating seems romantic, but for the most part it’s an extended audition. Marriage seems boring, but for the most part it’s a state of comfort and acceptance
Dating is about grand romantic gestures that mean little over the long-term. Marriage is about small acts of kindness that bond you over a lifetime. It’s quietly romantic. He makes her tea. She goes to the doctor appointment with him. They listen to each other’s daily trivia. They put up with each other’s quirks. They’re there for each other.” -Lori Gottlieb, author of Marry Him: The Case for Settling for Mr. Good Enough
