It's interesting Written by Barbara (10/3/2006 11:10 p.m.) in consequence of the missive, Love and marriage, penned by Line

I agree that John does love Fanny, and I suppose she is as fond of him as she is as capable of being of anyone.

Love is such a noble emotion that we tend not to associate it with people who bring out the worst in each other. Is it still love when you make the other person less thank he or she could be without you?
