The Contentment of Bachelors...
"I was perfectly content with this easygoing life, making my own hours, hanging out with my buddies, falling in and out of love, and basically waiting for life to begin. Sure, I got lonely sometimes, sunny-Sunday-afternoon lonely, but until I met Hailey, I just never knew what I might be missing."

Interesting. I've noticed that male authors will write in the Acknowledgment sections of their books that they could not have completed their work without their wives' support. The same goes for men who have done PhDs. I've known single men complete PhDs. So, it's not that marriage makes writing a book possible for men. It's that in being married, they get in touch with their own vulnerability and need for companionship. Once they know that, they wonder how on earth they could ever have lived without it.
