“I wonder how many marriages are fractured and damaged beyond repair by complacency rather than any single traumatic event. One day you wake up and realize that the distance between you and your spouse has grown to such an enormous width that neither of you are capable of clearing the distance. No matter how much speed you build up, or how far you can jump, it's just there. Gaping and unforgiving.” MatterRealizingWonderEventsOne DayCapableWake UpDistanceSpeedEnormousSpouseComplacencyClearingUnforgivingWidthTraumatic Events Author:Tracey Garvis-Graves
“I've always thought that you just make everything as best as you can, and then, one day, people will look objectively at what you do, from a distance, and see its quality.

“When I was in therapy about two years ago, one day I noticed that I hadn't had any children. And I like children at a distance. I wondered if I'd like them up close.

He had pictures of his cats on the wall.

“You've always asked me to wait, as if we had time in abundance. But time is too precious, Perry. We've wasted years, when we could have been with each other. Don't you understand how much even one day of loving each other is worth? Some people are separated by distances they can never cross. All they can do is dream about each other for a lifetime, never having what they want most. How foolish, how wasteful to have love within your reach and not take it!" She clamped her teeth on her trembling bottom lip to steady herself” PeopleIfsWantYearsHas BeensDreamWaitingCan DoOne DayCrossesDistanceLifetimeBottomLipsFoolishTeethAbundanceSteadyCould Have BeenLoving LifeTrembling Author:Lisa Kleypas
