Quote by Glennon Doyle Melton

I think of love and marriage in the same way I do plants: We have perennials and annuals. The perennial plant blooms, goes away, and comes back. The annual blooms for just a season, and then winter arrives and takes it out for good. But it's still enriched the soil for the next flower to bloom. In the same way, no love is wasted.

Summary

This quote illustrates the author's perspective on love and marriage by comparing them to plants. The analogy suggests that like plants, there are two types of love: perennial love and annual love. Perennial love represents the kind that endures, even if it may fade or go away at times, it always comes back. On the other hand, annual love is more short-lived, blooming only for a season before being taken away by winter. However, even though annual love may not last, it still contributes to the growth and enrichment of future love, just as an annual plant enriches the soil for the next flower to bloom. Ultimately, the quote conveys the idea that no love is futile or wasted, regardless of its duration.
