Marriage brings up all the things I pushed to the back burner - the fears, the mistrust, the doubts, the insecurities. It's like opening Pandora's box.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Marriages, like careers, need constant nurturing... the secret of having it all is loving it all.
I feel that marriage can lead to the ultimate rejection and failure and divorce and things we all fear.
My marriage? Up to now everything's okay. But it's a real marriage - imperfect and very difficult. It's all about people evolving somewhat simultaneously through their lives. I think we've emotionally evolved.
I don't know what makes a marriage work. My husband and I don't have it right at all; it's very tough on him. From the outside it looks like it's all about me - I have a glorious career and he doesn't.
I try not to dwell too much on a bad marriage.
Every marriage is a mystery to me, even the one I'm in. So I'm no expert on it.
Marriage is a linchpin in many women's lives, but many other things can create a satisfying life. I adore my career. It stretches every physical, emotional, and intellectual muscle I have.
My marriage is incredibly important to me. It's the place from which I engage in the world every day, and the place to which I return every day.
'Marriage' was not that big a deal, to be honest! I mean, it makes life easier for technical reasons: insurance, next-of-kin stuff, joint tax filing, etc. The real shocker was falling in love with the man I'm married to. I was 32 when we met, and I had really never been in a functional relationship before, had never been deeply in love.
Every day there is a compromise. Living with somebody requires a lot of understanding. But I love being married. I really love it.
