This brings-up what somebody had mentioned to me many many years ago, before marriage.
They had said to put a marble/object/etc. in a bowl/jar each time before you were married to your spouse.
Then once you are married, take one marble/object out of the bowl/jar and see how many are left after the same period of time.
If you meet your spouse while in college and you stay on campus for summer school, you can get over 1,000 objects in that bowl/container in 18 months before you are married.(Merely stating the truth, not bragging).
Now getting them back out of the jar in anything resembling the original time was pretty much an impossibility. Work, reality, time constraints, etc. just slaps ya in the face with reality...................
