Post 8: Marriage Part IV
Consider these two quotes about marriage by Barbara De Angelis:
- The real act of marriage takes place in the heart, not in the ballroom or church or synagogue. It's a choice you make - not just on your wedding day, but over and over again -- and that choice is reflected in the way you treat your husband or wife.
· Marriage is not a noun; it's a verb. It isn't something you get. It's something you do. It's the way you love your partner every day.
Do these quotes contradict the ideas of marriage presented in Pride and Prejudice? Explain your answer using details from both quotes and the text.
