Re: Getting a place of your own
Quality over quantity for sure. When you’re apart people will make time to meet each other, plan picnics, brunches, dinners. If no one is making the effort than even living in the same quarters is not going to foster love that didn’t exist. And when people live together they take each other for granted. So the random moments of passing each other in the hallway seem to be time spent together when it really isn’t.
And most folks think marriage = ability to make your decisions. If that doesn’t happen like one of my friends is not allowed to buy new clothes for her kids without her mil present then it’s not going to make anyone happy.
