The narrator's uncle shared his experiences with love, marriage, and divorce over a two hour interview. He expressed how wonderful falling in love feels but that he rushed into marriage too young, without being ready for the challenges of life and marriage. Financial issues led to the end of his first marriage, which caused him depression and pain for 10 years. Though he fell in love again later, he was too fearful of making another mistake to remarry. As a result of his divorce, he has guarded himself against reaching the highs of love again and now prefers a long-term relationship without remarrying. The narrator learned to be careful with who they give their heart to and to accept imperfections in relationships.
