About This Quote

In the end, I hope that I’ve been a good wife to my husband. And I hope he’s been a good husband to me, giving us both the space we needed to become ourselves.

It’s about two people who want to love and be loved by each other, learning to listen and learning to talk, learning that communication is the foundation of any relationship.
