Marriage is like a table with four legs - the couple, the children, the parents and the in-laws. Break any of these and the marriage crashes to the floor
When couples start a family, they give up their personal love to achieve a greater responsibility - to nurture their children into good human beings. Nothing should deter them from that goal until the kids are up on their own feet
Couples should keep their love pure before it poisons the purest love of all - that between them and their children
The purest love is the one between parents and their children. The rest may be more elevated, but never as deep or long-lasting.
