It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There is no loneliness like that of a failed marriage.
Love is so much better when you're not married.
If there is such a thing as a good marriage, it is because it resembles friendship rather than love.
The little trouble in the world that is not due to love is due to friendship.
If you have love in your life, it can make up for a great many things that are missing. If you don't have love in your life, no matter what else there is, it's not enough.
Absences are a good influence in love and keep it bright and delicate.
We humans are hard to deal with. We are a loud, complex and demanding bunch. Often, we are best dealt with from a safe distance and for only brief periods of time. This could be why a lot of marriages fail.
It is better to be unhappy in love than unhappy in marriage, but some people manage to be both.
Love is the missing factor; there is a lack of affection, of warmth in relationship; and because we lack that love, that tenderness, that generosity, that mercy in relationship, we escape into mass action, which produces further confusion, further misery.
Where there's marriage without love, there will be love without marriage.
