Marriage Quotes

Plant and your spouse plants with you; weed and you weed alone.

Jean Jacques Rousseau

There's not a lot of room anymore for what I call 'made-up' drama. The drama comes from real places now - marriage takes work and focus, the kid stuff takes patience and commitment. And if you don't grow as people and as a couple, within all of that, then you've got some real drama.

But kiss him quickly, before you go, otherwise he might think you are angry; he is used to suspecting he is doing something wrong.

Marlene Dietrich
