Anyone we might marry could, of course, be a little bit wrong for us. We don't expect bliss every day. The fault isn't entirely our own; it has to do with the devilish truth that anyone we're liable to meet is going to be rather wrong, in some fascinating way or another, because this is simply what all humans happen to be - including, sadly, ourselves.

A collection of 3 essays:

  • Why You Will Marry the Wrong Person
  • When is One Ready to Get Married?
  • How Love Stories Ruin Our Love Lives
