Marriage is the daily decision of two people to honor each others imperfections as deeply as they honor their perfections.

Marriage is the daily decision of two people to stay put and work things through rather than turning and walking away.

Marriage is the daily decision of two people be open to the new life that can spring from their love (sometimes this comes in the form of babies... but only sometimes)
I think we might all begin to believe in marriage again, if we understood that this is what we were agreeing to. I love you definition!
