I come back and still seek advice on my marriage and on anything else that's going on in my life,

Someone once said that marriage is like standing in a corridor lined with doors. You go off through your door, he goes through his, but at the end of the day you have to come back to the corridor, touch base, hold hands, because through every door are more doors, and beyond them, more again, and if you both go through too many without coming back to the corridor, you may never find your way back.

You'll never experience the joy and tenderness of a lifelong love unless you fight for it.

Marriage is a lot like a roller coaster. You have extreme highs and you can have some pretty extreme lows, but the ride is worth it.

You may forsake a person, a family, some location of the heart, but scars and memories cannot be discarded like used clothing.

Develop morning rituals that remind you to connect.
