I'm not that kind of wife who would say, 'Learn this' or 'Learn that.' I'm not a nagging wife.

I never say 'nagging.' I think that 'nagging' is a term that men created to get women to pipe down some. But, it's a trap that we've created. We created several terms for women to back you down. Nagging means to stop asking me questions, then we get away with more. I think it's a term men created.

All men hate the nagging.

Marry someone who flatters you. Because I've written 80 books since 'War Horse' but when my wife reads one, all she says is, 'It's quite good, but it's not as good as 'War Horse,' is it?'

I'm never going to listen to someone trash my wife.

No wife can endure a gambling husband; unless he is a steady winner.

Sticking with a marriage. That's true grit, man.

You can bear your own faults, and why not a fault in your wife?

There is nothing like a good dose of another woman to make a man appreciate his wife.

That is, the wife must care for what the husband cares for if he is to remain resolute.
