""Then we come down off the emotional high and those aspects of life that we disregarded in our euphoria begin to become important. [...] We have now discovered for ourselves that being in love is not the foundation for a happy marriage."
I've always thought this about arranged marriages — while not the most romantic, they do allow for discussion around the more practical aspects of marriage often clouded by "love"." — Oct 02, 2025 02:50PM

"An interesting read so far — I'd heard of "The Four Horsemen" before as part of the Gottman method, but it was helpful to explore them a bit deeper in that last chapter. I've just gotten to the first principle now, but my partner has actually started a different book on marriage (lol) which is a lot shorter, so I might pause here and read that one first. Stay tuned!" — Oct 01, 2025 01:41PM

"Excited to finally move beyond all the weird male-centric Freud stuff in that last chapter... at least the author acknowledges it's a bit wacky too, lol" — Oct 01, 2025 01:30PM

“Take a nice, long look at your future, reaper. You'll soon be burning as fuel for hundreds of tiny fires."
Tod laughed out loud. "If that's your way of saying I'm hot, rest assured, I already know." He spread his arms, inviting Avari and his monstrous court to look him over. "But I'm going to have to keep lighting up the room with my dazzling personality, because you couldn't scrape enough fat off me to fill even one of your sick-ass human candles. And, based on the crowd behind you, I'm guessing most of your friends look better in the dark anyway.”

“Escape plan number seventeen," I told her. "Run away and open a juice stand in Fresno."
"Why Fresno?"
"Sounds like the kind of place people drink a lot of juice.”

“Relax, having kids is years away. But can you imagine? Your brains, my charm, our collective good looks... then add in the usual physical abilities dhampirs get.
It's really not even fair to everyone else.”
