Quote by Fulton J. Sheen
In all human love it must be realized that every man promises a woman, and every woman promises a man that which only God alone can give, namely, perfect happiness. One of the reasons why so many marriages are shipwrecked is because as the young couple leave the altar, they fail to realize that human feelings tire and the enthusiasm of the honeymoon is not the same as the more solid happiness of enduring human love. One of the greatest trials of marriage is the absence of solitude. In the first moments of human love, one does not see the little hidden deformities which later on appear.
Summary
This quote highlights the misconception in romantic relationships where individuals expect their partner to provide them with perfect happiness and fulfillment that only a higher power can offer. It suggests that many marriages fail because people forget that human emotions and initial passion fade over time, and true happiness in enduring love comes from a deeper connection. The quote also points out that marriage brings challenges, such as the absence of solitude, and how initial idealized love may blind individuals to the flaws that later surface in their partner.
