Marriage was never a dream or an ambition for me. I thank my real mother for the fact that - unlike my sitcom mother - she never put any pressure on me or my sister to marry.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I wanted to marry a girl just like my mom.
My parents had a great marriage. Interestingly, it made it harder for me in relationships because I knew what a good relationship looked like.
My mother married my father in 1956. She was twenty-eight, and he was thirty-one. She loved him with a fierce steadiness borne of loyalty, determination, and an unyielding dignity.
My mom, Emilie, always taught me to think hard about marriage.
It was the only ambition I ever had - not to be a dancer or Hollywood movie star, but to be a housewife in a good marriage.
Ever since I was a little kid, I wanted to get married. I think because of the way I was brought up and seeing my parents in love.
My parents had a wonderful marriage, but it was a very dependent relationship. My mother was entirely dependent on my father because that's how it was in those days.
As a kid, I wasn't sure that I would ever get married - I was not the kind of little girl who played at being a bride.
Marriage was never my goal, because I've never been very traditional.
Marriage and being a mother are absolutely crucial to my happiness and my life.
