“Супружество: обнадеживающая, щедрая, бесконечно добрая игра, за которую принимаются два человека, которые пока не знают, кто они или кем может оказаться избранник, сами связывающие себя на будущее, которого они не в силах представить и возможности познать которое они старательно избегают.”
― Ален де Боттон

“Не надо про
любовь и грех,
когда ребро
одно на всех.”
― Вера Павлова, Стихотворения

“In a relationship, commitment is a choice we make every single day, over and over again. We choose it even when we are tired and overworked and stressed out. We choose it no matter what attractive person crosses our path. We also choose it every time our partner makes a bid for attention and we put down our book, or look away from the television, or up from our smartphone, or stop whatever it is we’re occupied with to acknowledge their importance in our life. This acknowledgement may call for just a smile or for a conversation, but whatever it calls for, we authentically try to deliver. When we make our relationship a priority by showing that it’s a priority, we build trust and demonstrate our loyalty far beyond any words we say in our wedding vows. What the Love Lab found is that it is the small, positive things done often that make the most difference and build that cocoon of trust and safety in our relationships.”
― John M. Gottman

“There is so little life, and it is fraught with chance. We meet, we don't meet, we take the wrong turning, and still bump into each other. We conscientiously choose the 'right road' and it leads nowhere.”
― Jeanette Winterson, Lighthousekeeping
