May the odds be ever in your favour! (Unless you give me peppers, because then I will cut you).

In stories men are usually the ones who are granted doubts about their adoring wives and lovers. But women, too, often have that problem, often aren’t sure about what it means to love someone, and resent the loss of independence that romantic love might represent."
