Quote

In marriage, compromise nurtures the relationship.

Marriage encourages the men and women who together create life to unite in a bond for the protection of children.

The secret of a good marriage is forgiving your partner for marrying you in the first place.

I am a very committed wife. And I should be committed too - for being married so many times.

In almost every marriage there is a selfish and an unselfish partner. A pattern is set up and soon becomes inflexible, of one person always making the demands and one person always giving way.

I don't see the point in marriage: if you make a commitment, you make a commitment. Fidelity is important to me; it's about honouring that commitment.

Seriously - quite seriously - I firmly believe that marriage is to be enjoyed and shared.

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

Marriage fascinates me: how we negotiate its span, how we change within it, how it changes itself, and why some relationships survive and others do not. There isn't a single marriage that couldn't provide enough narrative arc for a novel.

Love and marriage are wonderful arenas in which to place a character. We are most likely to risk our morals and beliefs while in love. Betrayal gives tremendous insights into a character as well.
