Love the earth and the sun and the animals, despite riches, give alms to every one that asks, stand up for the stupid and crazy, devote your income and labour to others, hate tyrants, argue not concerning god, have patience and indulgence toward the people, take off your hat to nothing known or unknown or to any man or number of men.
Walt Whitman

Marriage starts off as a love match and ends up as an economic partnership. A home. A place to raise children. It starts as a love affair and ends up as a family.
The one who cares the least has all the power.
