Marriage is for committed lovers, not hostages. Marriage is a sacred relationship created for two people who complete each other spiritually.

That’s gumption. If you’re going to repair a motorcycle, an adequate supply of gumption is the first and most important tool. If you haven’t got that you might as well gather up all the other tools and put them away, because they won’t do you any good.
