A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.
All married couples should learn the art of battle as they should learn the art of making love.
When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible.
All married couples should learn the art of battle as they should learn the art of making love. Good battle is objective and honest - never vicious or cruel. Good battle is healthy and constructive, and brings to a marriage the principles of equal partnership.
If you made a list of reasons why any couple got married, and another list of the reasons for their divorce, you'd have a hell of a lot of overlapping.
That married couples can live together day after day is a miracle that the Vatican has overlooked.
This would be a much better world if more married couples were as deeply in love as they are in debt.
