The dynamic between two individuals starts off with everything warm and nice and fabulous and good. Working and living together can serve you quite well, but when it starts to go wrong - oh, boy!

In a couple, sometimes, one or both people have to give up their personal life, dreams and ambitions for the good of the family.

The more brutal it gets in the working world, the more appealing the prospect of having someone at home creating a sanctuary becomes. Increasingly couples, particularly with children, are making that tough choice, with one or other partner electing to embrace domestic duties while the other brings home the cash.

I admire people's marriages, and I think it's a wonderful thing to have, but I don't think it's the only way to live. I think there are many ways to live and many ways to establish intimate support in your life that can be from family or friends or great roommates that you like.

What I've learned about marriage: You need to have each other's back; you have to be a kind of team going through life.

Marriage is a commitment for life. It is a permanent, lifelong relationship.

Every day there is a compromise. Living with somebody requires a lot of understanding. But I love being married. I really love it.

We both came from families in which parents got married, had children and the whole thing. So we were not the kind of people to live together permanently.

Marriage is a wonderful institution, but who wants to live in an institution?

It's so easy to grow apart; marriage takes work.
