Husband, wife or companion, who & how to best choose?

Never forget that once the effervescence of a love affair fades gradually away, things settle down and a lifetime of a relationship between two individuals - that could be very different - sets in : one of compromise, complementarities, logic and the daily watering of a garden of affection, mutual appreciation, devotion, tenderness, respect, friendship and a yearning for togetherness, for better or for worse.
Never hurry that most important decision of your life ! Besides, never forget that separation and divorce are in no way limited to the partners alone ; collateral damages of innocent others - particularly children - should be taken into account.
