“The secret of marriage is thinking that your partner is better than yourself.”
“Marriage is not a ritual or an end. It is a long, intricate, intimate dance together and nothing matters more than your own sense of balance and your choice of partner.”
“In marriage, each partner is to be an encourager rather than a critic; a forgiver rather than a collector of hurts; an enabler rather than a reformer.”
“The marriage partner is not really the problem. No other person can ultimately make you happy. You must learn how to be happy within yourself.”
“Don't bother just to be better than your contemporaries or predecessors. Try to be better than yourself.”
“If you both care for each other more than you care for yourself, your marriage will endure all.”
