When you expand the definition of marriage beyond one man and one woman, society can expect other consenting adults in other configurations to say that their choices deserve recognition.

When you have a life milestone happen, it's good to step back and reassess the things you thought you knew about yourself.

I have people close to me who ask my advice just as I ask theirs.

Accept the fact that life presents us with opportunities to find more than one "one", and that you have learned a mighty life lesson when the next one comes along.

People who have undergone a loss get a fair amount of leeway on their behavior.

Anyone who marries gets no guarantee that their partner, no matter what they vow, will always keep that promise.

People often recommend, "Why do you ask?" as a good conversation stopper. But that really doesn't end the conversation, it just leaves the other person sputtering for a response. I like, "You'll be the first to know.".
