There has never been a merging of two lives where significant problems of daily living did not occur. One way or another, your relationship is going to be affected. The only question is how. There's a big difference between knowing and doing. It's not what happens between partners that determines the outcome of a relationship, it's how they handle what happens. If all you deal with in your relationship is problems, then you will have a problem relationship. If you want your pound of flesh with full acknowledgement that you're right, your future will be dim.
There's a big difference between falling in love and being in love. There's a big difference between infatuation and falling in love.
The difference between winners and losers is that winners do things losers don't want to do.
Really, everybody sometimes will think about Christmas, Christmases past, like it was a Currier & Ives print, you know, the candle in the window, the snow on the sill, and isn't this wonderful? But the truth was Uncle Harry got drunk, the kids were fighting over the toys, there wasn't enough money, you overate.

I don't care how pumped up or psyched you are to start a new diet or a new program - that emotion will fade.
Nothing's funnier to me than laughing at myself.
Parents need to dial in and know what their kids are doing.
If you've gone into a marriage and you haven't been clear about how you're going to handle money, how you want to raise kids, who is going to work or stay home or what have you, then you've set yourself up for failure.
I don't substitute anybody else's judgment for my own.
The truth is, I think we are a self-less society, not a selfish society. Because we're so busy now.
