Marriage: All I ever needed to know, Gilmore Girls edition

"It's not going to be perfect. He's not perfect and God knows you're not perfect. But marriage is not about always being happy and often its about not being happy at all. It's about compromise which is not your strong suit. Marriage is about swallowing your pride sometimes, about doing what he wants. It's not about winning an argument which may make you sad because that's what you love, but I don't want to see you ruin this. Marriage is serious bussiness…and if you don't take this very seriously, then this whole thing could fall apart faster than you could possibly imagine. And he'll be gone and you'll be alone again. A ring is no guarantee. Sorry to scare you."

That I'm quoting the Gilmore Girls in a post should be evidence enough of recent illness, which I will detail at a later date. Regardless, assuming you're not asexual, words to consider.
