“Love is not the foundation for marriage, people normally get married to someone they think, they are in love with. Can I say to you that love does not make marriage work, don't be fooled by that funny feeling, don't get married because you love someone. I love aircraft but I can't fly them, I failed two times my pilot license, I love cars but I failed two times in the driving school made it on the third time. I love diving but not yet ready to go to diving school.You can love something and still don't know how to do it. So love is not the problem but the knowledge.I still maintain love doesn't make marriage work but knowledge and understanding. . Acquire enough knowledge before going into it.”
