I had never confronted my parents with the true feelings I had for them, and I had certainly never expressed the depth of my feeling for my mother, being too selfish to try when I should have.

My parents were very unusual people, but it was more valuable to have other people say that than me.

It's true - women want the fantasy. So give them romance - but without the desperation, wondering, and waiting you see in the movies.

If my house was on fire, I can't compromise about which part of the house I'm going to save. You save the whole house or it will all burn down. We either save this country or we do not.

Marriage can be work, it can be difficult, it can be hard, but I think working through those times makes you stronger as a couple and as a unit.
