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

Feeling gratitude isn't born in us-it's something we are taught, and in turn, we teach our children.

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.

Some men are self-made, but most are the revised work of a wife and children.

The cynic finds love with the idealist. The rebel with the conformist. The social butterfly with the bookworm. They help each other balance their lives.

Marriages, like careers, need constant nurturing... the secret of having it all is loving it all.

My husband and I have never considered divorce... murder sometimes, but never divorce.
