Quotations
Marriage
A woman is not property and husbands who think otherwise are living in a dreamworld.
-Robert A. Heinlein
Two people can only live as one when each is prepared to give and receive trust and understanding. Above that lies respect. Without respect for how the other feels, no marriage is worthwhile.
-Helen Hollick
