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

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

When success comes in the door, it seems, love often goes out the window.

Love, real love, is not simply a state of bliss. It is an ever-changing state, the result of time and emotional development, of trust and commitment.

Nothing brings families together faster than forgiveness. That should make it Step No. 1, but most of us find forgiving hard. We associate it with weakness and losing when, actually, the reverse is true. When you forgive, you gain strength and come out a winner. You break free of control by the other person's actions.

A woman should never underestimate the power of the child in the man. Sometimes the child seems to be in the driver's seat at the very moment when all a man's adult judgment and insight is needed.

The best proof of love is trust.
