According to Shakespeare's Let Me not to the Marriage of True Minds, when one is in love you must admit your faults. It is not love if you cannot get through a tough time in your relationship.

I remember the feelings of joy that I had, when I woke up that early morning. I sat straight up, as if a knife had been stabbed into my back, and could not go back to sleep. I lie there on my bed and watched the horizon turn red and warm like velvet. As the sun peeked its head over the lip of the earth, I could already tell what a perfect day it was going to be. It seemed like hours as I lay there waiting for my father to come bursting in the door to tell me it was time. When he did, the excitement ran through my veins like water in a fire hose.
