In Answer, I thankfully laid down the Book, and was no more sad, at least, not on that Occasion.”

“It's not easy having a good marriage--but I don't want easy. Easy doesn't make you grow. Easy doesn't make you think. I thank God everyday that I am married to a man who makes me think. That's my definition of true love.”
