Arthur Brooks· Guest0:02

You can't love in the past, and you can't love in the future, 'cause you're not there. Only when you're here now can you truly love somebody. You can only love your husband now- Mm ... when you're present. You can only love your babies now. And the more time that you're not here now is the more love you miss.

Mm.

And meaning comes from love.
