“marry someone you’re attracted to inside and out, marry your best friend, and marry someone you love.”
― John Bytheway, What I Wish I'd Known When I Was Single

“Someone with whom you can spend the whole day and never feel bored or lonely. Someone who is the first person you want to tell when something exciting happens to you. Someone you really like.”
― John Bytheway, What I Wish I'd Known When I Was Single

“It’s important to marry someone you love, but it’s also important to marry someone you like. In other words, you like being together, you like to do the same things, you like each other. You’re friends! Romance may have ups and downs, but friendship endures.”
― John Bytheway, What I Wish I'd Known When I Was Single

“And when it comes to relationships, I would spend less money on extravagant dates at nice restaurants and spend more time talking and sharing ideas. I would focus less on trying to find someone and more on trying to become someone. I would be careful with the feelings of others in my words and expressions of affection. I would try not to let breakups break me up. I would never give up on dating, but I would give up on worrying and stewing about it. When people approached my piano with their advice, I would smile and say, “I’m doing my best.”
