Quotes to ponder:

"When we believe that 'all we need is love,' then like Lennon, we're more likely to ignore fundamental values such as respect, humility and commitment towards the people we care about."

"Love does not equal compatibility. Just because you fall in love with someone doesn't necessarily mean they're a good partner for you to be with over the long term."
