About this Quote

This quote by Jane Rule speaks with the idea that love is a trick that individuals are often thought of having unless they are married. In this case, the implication is that as soon as a couple is wed, it is presumed that they no longer have the exact same passionate love that they had in the past. This could be translated as a commentary on the idea that marital relationship is frequently viewed as completion of a romantic relationship, instead of the beginning of a new one. It could also be seen as a criticism of the concept that marriage is the only way to reveal love and commitment. Eventually, this quote suggests that love is something that needs to be celebrated and welcomed, no matter whether or not a couple is married.
