Wise words from the King of Rastafari

This quote is written from the male perspective, but I feel that most of it can be applied to both genders.

Ladies and gentlemen, take heed. Live it:

You may not be her first, her last, her only. She loved before, and she may love again. But if she loves you now, what else matters? She's not perfect - you aren't either, and the two of you may never be perfect together. But if she can make you laugh, cause you to think twice, and admit to being human and making mistakes, hold on to her and give her the most you can. She may not be thinking about you every second of the day, but she will give you a part of her that she knows you can break - her heart. So don't hurt her, don't change her, don't analyze and don't expect more than she can give. Smile when she makes you happy, let her know when she makes you mad, and miss her when she's not there.
-Bob Marley

How many of you can say you live this? I don't. Most people my age don't. And I've never experienced it.
Bob Marley died at the relatively young age of 36...so can we really say that the application of such wisdom in relationships is limited to those who are advanced in age, and supposedly more mature? I think not.
