C.S. Lewis quote of the week-- on marriage

"The idea that 'being in love' is the only reason for remaining married really leaves no room for marriage as a [covenant] or promise at all. If love is the whole thing, then the promise adds nothing; and if it adds nothing, then it should not be made...A promise must be about things that I can do, about action: no one can promise to go on feeling in a certain way."

--Mere Christianity, book 3, ch. 6
