I Am Ready To Settle Down Quotes

“Men don't settle down because of the right woman. They settle down because they are finally ready for it.

Unromantic, but still true.”

"That's different from loving her. That means you don't belittle her, not in front of other people or in private. Your job is to not only make her feel like she's gorgeous but to know in your heart that she really is and to drop down on your knees every once in a while and thank God that he put her in your life. You do those things and you'll be just fine. If you don't, somebody else will and you'll lose the best thing that ever happened to you." "Good”

The time for that kind of thing was running out, however. She was tired of renting.”

— Margaret Atwood
