You are the only thing I’ve found that is better than all of these things.

Southern grandmothers are the most embracing, warm creatures on earth – but god help you if you cross them.

The only thing sweeter than the stunning newness of falling in love is the unexpected warmth and strength of what comes next.

Haircuts, addiction, and their insane relationship with their mom – you can’t change any of it.

Make sure co-habitating means the same thing to both of you. (And you know you’ll hear each other poop, right?)

No matter where your suspicions come from, most women know when that moment is coming – this is what they do while waiting.

“All the magic I have known, I’ve had to make myself.”

“If nothing saves us from death, at least love should save us from life.”

This is the person you marry. This is the person who will be your best friend until one of you dies. This is how you know you’ve found them.

“Love is the ultimate outlaw. It just won’t adhere to any rules. The most any of us can do is to sign on as its accomplice.”

Whether it’s finishing grad school or getting a big promotion at work, your Southern gentleman is going to be a loving, encouraging platform of unbridled support. It’s just how he was raised.

When you wait to say “I love you”, the things you say instead can end up being far more specific, personal, and genuine than anything else.
