Third, it is accepted as self-evident. |

do, and you will never pay attention to their limitations again.
James R. Cook
When we fall in love what attracts us
most about other people is how different they are from us. Once hitched we tend to change
ourselves to accomodate what we think our partner wants of us. So, what starts out as an
exciting relationship full of spontaneity and contrast becomes a life of strict rules,
making everything seem the same. We wind up dancing to each other's tune.
