"Marriage is not just spiritual communion, it is also remembering to take out the trash." ― Joyce Brothers Topic(s): Marriage More From Joyce Brothers "Being taken for granted can be a compliment. It means that you’ve become a comfortable, trusted element in another person’s life." "Accept that all of us can be hurt, that all of us can and surely will at times fail. Other vulnerabilities, like being embarrassed or risking love, can be terrifying, too. I think we should follow a simple rule: if we can take the worst, take the risk." "The person interested in success has to learn to view failure as a healthy, inevitable part of the process of getting to the top."

I think laughter gets you through the rough moments in a marriage."― Bob Newhart
