Brought up to respect the conventions, love had to end in marriage. I'm afraid it did.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
A lot of people have been romantically in love with somebody who they feel wasn't appropriate to marry.
Romantic love came under attack, first from the Freudians and then from the neuroscientists, who said that being in love was a chemical reaction in the brain. Marriage is no longer seen as a lifetime commitment.
But if you want to know the truth, the weirdest thing that has happened has been my discovery that people who attend the conventions are filled with love.
When a marriage culture fails, sexual desire no longer unites; instead it fragments.
Marriage isn't about a collection of scenes over ten years of two people telling each other that they love each other. It's about commitment.
Marriage is the tomb of love.
People don't get married to get divorced. Maybe people weren't meant to be together forever.
What most did not understand then was that I was not only married to the man I loved, but I was also married to the movement that I loved.
I think marriage is one of those things that writers draw on, one of those emotional reservoirs that go way back.
If a relationship is founded on love it doesn't end.
