Chesterton, Gilbert K.

One of society's biggest problems today is that we've allowed relationships to be accepted as impermanent, particularly marriage.

Such is the common process of marriage. A youth and maiden exchange meeting by chance, or brought together by artifice, exchange glances, reciprocate civilities, go home, and dream of one another.
