Edith Wharton on Marriage [Short note]

I’m sticking to short notes for today – quotes or tweets or such stuff.. like this one..

I begin to see what marriage is for. It’s to keep people away from each other. Sometimes I think that two people who love each other can be saved from madness only by the things that come between them: children, duties, visits, bores, relations, the things that protect married people from each other. -Edith Wharton, novelist (1862-1937)
