Valentine Afterthought

I think I've quoted this before, but let me do it again.

Let me not to the marriage of true minds

Admit impediments. Love is not love

Which alters when it alternation finds,

Or bends with the remover to remove:

Oh, no! it is an ever-fixéd mark,

That looks on tempests and is never shaken;

It is the star to every wandering bark,

Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.

Love's not time's fool, though rose lips and cheeks

Within his bending sickle's compass come:

Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,

But bears it out even to the edge of doom.

If this be error and upon me proved,

I never writ, nor no man ever loved.

Sonnet 116, "The Marriage Of True Minds"

William Shakespeare

"Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave Himself up for her, so that He might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the word, that He might present to Himself the church in all her glory, having no spot or wrinkle or any such thing; but that she would be holy and blameless."

~Ephesians 5:25-27

Brothers, don't get married so that we can stop pursuing women. Get married so that we can perfect the pursuit of the same woman over a lifetime.

Happy belated Valentine's!
