About This Quote

A successful marriage was a balancing act-that was a thing everyone knew. A successful marriage was also dependent on a high tolerance for irritation. It was also dependent on understanding at least three things: that each person had his or her own way; that each person was not always right; and that the only thing that really matters is the happiness of the couple.
