Choosing Quote by Isman H. Suryaman

“Finding a life partner is like choosing a bed. You need one as a friend either in times of health or sickness. Freshness or weariness. Happiness or sadness. And we can be certain that we've picked the right one without having to sleep with it first.” quote by Isman H. Suryaman
