Marriage and the Single Life

"Marriage hath in it less of beauty but more of safety, than the single life; it hath more care, but less danger, it is more merry, and more sad; it is fuller of sorrows, and fuller of joys; it lies under more burdens, but it is supported by all the strengths of love and charity, and those burdens are delightful."

Ben Holmes (Ben Affleck), quoting Bishop Jeremy Taylor, Forces of Nature
