Quote

The best you can sometimes do is learn to take a breath, count to ten and simply accept that try as you might, no, your husband will never, ever learn not to drop a wet towel on the bed. That acceptance too counts as resolving a fight.

When a man spends his time giving his wife criticism and advice instead of compliments, he forgets that it was not his good judgment, but his charming manners, that won her heart.

I never ever, ever say anything against my husband to anyone except my husband. Everyone gets in fights, and I think the natural propensity for women is, 'Oh I want to talk to someone.' But the minute you take what bothers you outside the bond between you and your husband, you let someone else into the relationship and that causes a wedge.

I have to defend my husband.

I think the best thing I can do is to be a distraction. A husband lives and breathes his work all day long. If he comes home to more table thumping, how can the poor man ever relax?

I hate to think I ever make my husband frightened or unhappy, but I suspect I do.

Every night, whisper 'peace' in your husband's ear.

Criticising the other fellow because he's in and you are not seems to me a futile waste of time.

My husband keeps me really honest.

I don't really feel like I have to have a debate with my husband over issues.
