"Marrying someone you aren't crazy about only to secure the financial and domestic conveniences of wedlock is as stale and trite as day-old Doritos. Settling represents a failure of both imagination and confidence. It marks an essential disregard for others and for ourselves: for the capacity to love, to give, to inspire. It's difficult enough to make a marriage last. If we cannot so much as drum up enthusiasm in the beginning-if we lack even the memory of a full-blooded passion to sustain us through times of trial-then we are frail indeed. By settling, we exploit others, and we impoverish ourselves.' -- Cristina Nehring, author of 'A Vindication of Love: Reclaiming Romance for the Twenty-First Century"
