Hunches are a kind of subterranean logic shorthand.

Marriage is not just spiritual communion, it is also remembering to take out the trash.

The need to connect with one another intimately is what makes and keeps us human. The challenge throughout life is to find the courage to reach out to potential partners when our primary relationship ends and to recharge our tried-and-true unions when their sizzle starts to fizzle.

Those who have easy, cheerful attitudes tend to be happier than those with less pleasant temperaments, regardless of money, making it, or success.

The more we have, the more we want. And for this reason, we never have it all.

Sex and love are like tea and milk. They can be mixed or they can be taken straight. Each has certain distinctive characteristics, but when they are combined they form a unique substance.

The best of all possible marriages is a seesaw in which first one, then the other partner is dominant.
