I've often thought if I didn't make my marriage work, I would have failed at my one true shot at happiness.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I wanted my marriage to work, but it didn't.
I think one reason for a successful marriage is laughter. I think laughter gets you through the rough moments in a marriage.
I've never really been very good at marriage. It's one of my failures. I've tried my best, but I do realise the common denominator is me; it's something I'm doing.
The thing is, when I had my first success it did coincide with the end of my first marriage, and because I went on to have a very, very unhappy two years, I don't think I equate career success with personal happiness.
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.
I regret that I wasn't more successful with my marriages, but it is what it is.
Coming to terms with the fact that my marriage was a failure was devastating and very difficult.
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 didn't think marriage worked. I thought everybody who was married was secretly miserable - that it was something they just put up with for their children.
Yes, I have 'failed' at marriage - a lot.
