“Denial serves a very real, very necessary purpose. It allows addicts to revel in the ecstatic joy of their vices, free of guilt; free of worry. It lets the sweet customer service rep at Belk -- the one with the frequent black eyes that makeup just doesn’t quite seem to hide -- continue on in her marriage, hoping her husband’s tantrums are just a phase. It helped split the nation, bloodying battlefields from Vicksburg to Gettysburg as both sides denied the reality of brother killing brother.”

“All humans are slaves to love. It commands them and guides their every action. They can deny it, resist it, or try to make it not exist; but they are only pawns in the game.

In a marriage there is no end result, no finish line that makes it all worthwhile. Rather, it is the steps between the start and finish lines that determine the quality of the bond.”
