Reading this post reminds me of a song that use to play over and over in my head back in the days when I was trying to shake the blues...

You got to know when to hold em, no when to fold em, know when to walk away and know when to run...

I know it's a poker song and it's probably kind of a cynical metaphor, but I was always told Marriage was just that... a gamble.

"It is curious that physical courage should be so common in the world and moral courage so rare."
-Mark Twain
