Until-dawn-do-us-part relationships make until-death-do-us-part ones so very hard. They exchange temporary happiness for permanent burdens. Years of memories that could have been shared instead become moribund recollections of “might have beens.”
A wife of noble character who can find? She is worth far more than rubies.
