I was with my wife for 9 1/2 years before we got married, and I only did so because it was important to her. I never saw it as more than legally committing myself to the relationship, but through the years I have come to appreciate that it's been more than that.

I was completely unprepared for how things would change, though. I signed all of the rights to my testicles away, and any time that I need them for something I have to get permission first. The fact that they are still connected to my body is just a physical formality.
Even if the open windows of science at first make us shiver after the cozy indoor warmth of traditional humanizing myths, in the end the fresh air brings vigor, and the great spaces have a splendor of their own - Bertrand Russell
