Truth Doesn't Have a Side: My Alarming Discovery about the Danger of Contact Sports

“Bennet, never marry because you have fallen in love. Never come to me and tell me that you are getting married because you are so much in love that you cannot live without this woman. If you fall in love, then you can fall out of love, for it is often nothing but infatuation, a type of foolish love.” He went on to tell me that when you love a woman, it is a conscious decision to love, adore, and accept her for who she is. When you truly love, you do whatever is within your means to bring out the woman she is and the woman she was born to be. You seek to make her happy. “Love should not control you,” he told me. “Rather, you control it. It is a rational decision you make to love sacrificially, even when it is demanding and difficult and painful.”
