Maybe that's what it all comes down to. Love, not as a surge of passion, but as a choice to commit to something, someone, no matter what obstacles or temptations stand in the way. And maybe making that choice, again and again, day in and day out, year after year, says more about love than never having a choice to make at all.

I try to be true to the characters that I've created and sometimes I disagree with them, but their opinions about the story and the characters really matter to me.
Emily Giffin
Love as a verb. Love as a commitment.

Emily Giffin
Every couple has two stories - the edited one to be shared from the couch and the unabridged version best left alone.
Emily Giffin
I had seen the light, come to believe that a wedding should be about a feeling between two people, not a show for the masses...It was a magical, romantic evening, and although I occasionally wish I had worn a slightly fancier dress, and that Nick and I had danced on our wedding night, I have no real regrets about the way we chose to do things.
Emily Giffin
He who fails to plan, plans to fail.
Emily Giffin
I wondered why I was so startled by the encounter when there was something that seemed utterly inevitable about the moment. Not in any grand, destined sense just in the quiet, stubborn way that unfinished business has of imposing its will on the unwilling.
Emily Giffin
One way isn't better than the other they're just different.
Emily Giffin
Sorrow comes with so many defense mechanisms. You have your shock, your denial, your getting wasted, your cracking jokes, and your religion. You also have the old standby catchall—the blind belief in fate, the whole things happening for a reason drill.
Emily Giffin
I like to match what I wear to my book jacket - it's a little bit cheesy, but it's my thing.
Emily Giffin
Love is seldom—almost never—an even proposition. Someone always loves more.
Emily Giffin
It was the same night I gave myself to him completely, knowing that I would belong to him for as long as he wanted to keep me. And, as it turned out, even longer than that.
