Woman, or more precisely put, perhaps, marriage, is the representative of life with which you are meant to come to terms.
Perhaps my problem in marriage-and it is the problem of many women-was to want both intimacy and independence. It is a difficult line to walk, yet both needs are important to a marriage.
The ceremony took six minutes. The marriage lasted about the same amount of time though we didn’t get a divorce for almost a year.
I read somewhere that Mitt and I have a ‘storybook marriage.’ Well, in the storybooks I read, there were never long, long, rainy winter afternoons in a house with five boys screaming at once. And those storybooks never seemed to have chapters called MS or breast cancer.
I did commit to myself that I would not jump back into being the workaholic that I can be before I gave myself an honest opportunity to create the marriage of my dreams and to create the beginning of the family of my dreams, and that took a hot second.
Marriage is the torment of one, the felicity of two, the strife and enmity of three.
They say marriage will change you but it didn’t change me. Being in love changed me.
Sometimes I bust out and do things so permanent. Like tattoos and marriage.
Marriage is wonderful.
It takes a lot of work to put together a marriage, to put together a family and a home.
