"I walk a lonely road, the only one that I have ever known, don't know where it goes, but it's home to me and I walk alone."

Marriage quote

But it can also apply to just relationships in general, namely the portions I have added emphasis to:
 
"As long as we're paying attention to the meaning of marriage, maybe we can use this time to reform our traditional vows. I was at a wedding where the bride and groom vowed to "love, honor and respect" each other for all time, though no one had ever seen them practice this for more than two hours in a row.
 
Down with "until death do us part" and "for better or for worse." What we mean is, "until I meet someone better," "until I feel suffocated and blame you for hindering my financial progress," and "until I feel the need to move on." I would love to attend a wedding where the bride and groom felt comfortable being completely straight forward and realistic."
