If you love deeply, you’re going to get hurt badly. But it’s still worth it.
— C.S Lewis (via pureblyss)
If a woman marries a man, she’s trusting him with the rest of her life that he won’t hit her, cheat on her, that he’ll work hard, that he’ll pay the bills, that he’ll love their children, that he’ll finish the race well, that he’ll walk with Jesus ‘til the end, that if she gets sick, he’ll look after her, that if she is dying, he will be faithful to her. Gentlemen, it is a terrifying thing for a woman to trust a sinful man.
— It’s a Mark Driscoll kind of night. (via coffeeishtea)
“I don’t know. If being in love only made people more lonely, why would everyone want it so much?”
“Because of the illusion. You fall in love, its intoxicating, and for a little while you feel like you’ve actually become one with the other person. Merged souls, and so on. You think you’ll never be lonely again. Only it doesn’t last and soon you realize you can only get so close, and you end up brutally disappointed, more alone than ever, because the illusion—the hope you’d held on to all those years—has been shattered.”
