Well, if you want to truly understand the phrase "unconditional love", get
married and have a family.  You may discover that, at times, your marriage
could be a little like your road trip (though I pray not).  In those times,
you will have to do a little "night driving" (praying all night, that is). 
Of course, you'll really come to appreciate the peaks after coming through
the valleys.  I appreciate all the encouraging words, and pray that God will
strengthen your marriages in His own special way.
