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.

Proverbs 31:10

I can’t imagine myself finding a ruby and chucking it away. People die with integrity or despair, and the history of companionship goes a long way in determining that.

With love, always

—Luke
