"Well, love makes room for everybody. You get married because you're in love. You stay married because you do love." ~~Tess, The Perfect Game (I)

"A misunderstanding. An expectation that doesn't get met. A cross word that leads to another and another and another. But for every hurt that happens, there's always a choice that follows.

When people love each other, it usually doesn't end because they stop loving; it ends because they stop trying.” ~~Monica, The Perfect Game (I)

"Love is the greatest gift that God can give two people. But if you don't accept it, if you let pride get in the way of the words "I love you," then love has no place to go but away. God loves you so much, and He will always give you a second chance to love." ~~Monica, The Perfect Game (I)
