Even when a person has all of life's comforts - good food, good shelter, a companion - he or she can still become unhappy when encountering a tragic situation.

Yes, the companionship is amazing. You know, you can get that physical attraction that happens is great, but then there's an awful lot of time and the rest of the day that you have to fill.

Companions, in misery and worse, that is what we all are, and to try to change this substantially avails us nothing.

We make no greater voluntary choice in this life than the selection of a marriage partner. This decision can bring eternal happiness and joy. To find sublime fulfillment in marriage, both partners need to be fully committed to the marriage.

I'm constantly on the hunt for insights about happiness or ideas about how to be happier - which probably makes me a somewhat tiresome companion at times.

I don't know that I would want to be married again, but I do love companionship.

What it meant to me: a happy life, of course, companionship, of course. A common objective, I think.

If you're going to plan a wedding, then a certain amount of suffering is not a choice.

I can understand companionship.

There was at time in my life where all I wanted was a relationship, and I thought that was the most important thing.
