Thoughts on 07/04/16 - "Don't marry the one you can live with, marry the one you cannot live without."

"Don't marry the person you think you can live with; marry only the individual you think you can't live without."  - James C. Dobson

I don't remember when I heard this quote.  I think it was on the TV.  But I do remember realising how ridiculously true it is and from that point on, it changed my whole outlook on relationships.

I don't think this quote needs a lot of explaining.

I do remember the first time I knew I was in love.  It was right after I almost killed myself on the racetrack.  I remember her crying and at that moment I became afraid of dying.  Afraid because I would never be able to see her again, to be with her, to take care of her.

I am no longer afraid.

It's the same reason I can't listen to the song "Last Kiss" (covered by Pearl Jam).  It hurts way too much.

PS: I don't agree with most of what Dobson is about.  But this quote works.
