Don't you ever do it.That drug that someone might want you to use, don't touch it.Stay away from it. It can destroy you.

I am satisfied that happiness in marriage is not so much a matter of romance as it is an anxious concern for the comfort and well-being of one's companion. Any man who will make his wife's comfort his first concern will stay in love with her throughout their lives and through the eternity yet to come
