Being a husband is a whole-time job. That is why so many husbands fail. They cannot give their entire attention to it.

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.

The average husband enjoys the total effect of his home but is usually unable to contribute any of the details of work and organisation that make it enjoyable.

Before I go on selling the joy of working with your spouse, I should make something clear: Although we have a great marriage, it is as trying as anyone's.

One of the greatest threats to your husband's position of priority would be if you were to earnestly pursue a career... If you finally reach a pinnacle of success, you would overshadow him and make him feel unimportant.

I've often thought if I didn't make my marriage work, I would have failed at my one true shot at happiness.

Staying focused is hard work and staying married is even harder.

I wanted my marriage to work, but it didn't.

Husbands, be patient with your wives; and wives, be patient with your husbands. Don't expect perfection. Find agreeable ways to work out the differences that arise.

Husbands never become good; they merely become proficient.
