No man expects a great deal from marriage. He is quite satisfied if his wife is a good cook, a good valet, an attentive audience, and a patient nurse. – Author Unknown

Many women cut back what had to be done at home by redefining what the house, the marriage and, sometimes, what the child needs. One woman described a fairly common pattern: I do my half. I do half of his half, and the rest doesnt get done. – Arlie Russell Hochschild

I will remember always that marriage, like life, is a journey – not a destination – and that its treasures are found not just at the end but all along the way. – Anon.
