So i'm sitting here reading the last book for my Anthro 101 final and I came across this great excerpt that was definite post worthy.

""Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward in the same direction," wrote Antonine de Saint-Exupery. Enduring love seems to require engagement in something outside the relationship, whether in a shared project, or even periods of separation. Phrasing it as marriage advice, Kahlil Gibran urged, "Let there be spaces in your togetherness." Without such space, isolated love breeds habituation, habituation breeds boredom, and boredom breeds the disintegration of love."
