Irish girls are unique in their character. They are a combination of a little girl, mother, hooker, and nun. They go from Bambi to Banshee in 3.7 seconds. They can bat their eyes, or blacken yours. They can love you with a passion and make you feel like a king. They can be frail and strong at the same time. Depending on their mood, they'll chastise you for drinking...or match you pint for pint. They keep Irish men from killin' themselves and each other. They are incomprehensible, yet indispensable at the same time.

God intends your and your [spouse's] love
for each other to emulate His love for you
-- full, complete, and eternal.
~Dawn Eden (chapter seven)

What had hit me was that by getting physical with Bill, I was disrespecting God.  The Lord had already chosen a man for me to marry, and I hadn't met him yet.  To fool around with someone who was so clearly not the one God had chosen for me was to say to God, in effect, "You've been taking Your precious time.  Well, I don't have to wait for You.  In fact, I don't even think You're playing with a full deck.  Since You're not giving me what I want, I'm going to take what I can get. So there, Mr. Omnipotent."
~Dawn Eden (chapter eight)

Holy wisdom is not clear and thin like water,
but thick and dark like blood.
