"A healthy relationship is not “two becoming one”. That
is a recipe for disaster.
A healthy relationship is two people who stay together
because they want to. They are free to walk away at any point. Not
just free to do so, but capable of doing so on every level, and yet they make
that choice to stay together everyday. You can’t put that kind of
commitment on a license. You can’t have that kind of commitment between
two people who need each other. You can only have that kind of
commitment between two fully independent individuals who love each other enough
to give it a go, another day, and another day, and another day after that."
