• The curse which lies upon marriage is that too often the individuals are joined in their weakness rather than in their strength -each asking from the other instead of finding pleasure in giving. It is even more deceptive to dream of gaining through the child a plenitude, a warmth, a value, which one is unable to create for oneself; the child brings joy only to the woman who is capable of disinterestedly desiring the happiness of another, to one who without being wrapped up in self seeks to transcend her own existence.

  Simone de Beauvoir

• It is necessary but insufficient to stay married for the children's sake. It is also
  necessary to stay happily married for the children's sake. I'm so glad someone
  noticed that marriage doesn't have to make you miserable. It is just so easy to
  be happy I don't understand why it isn't more popular.
