Each experience I go through - marriage my public life my personal life - I'm learning as I go.
It is sad that the Republican leadership is not as interested as they say they are in protecting the institution of marriage as they are in waging a campaign to divide and distract the American people from the real issues that need to be addressed.

I liked the premise of this material. I love the marriage relationship. They kind of keep each other honest and they enjoy each other's sense of humor. Kind of a sexy but boring relationship.
I think that sense of humor is important in marriage. A sense of humor gets people through marriage.
A sense of humor is great - it goes a long long way in a marriage.

I've done an informal anecdotal survey about marriage and I've found no evidence that it brings happiness.
The thing is when I had my first success it did coincide with the end of my first marriage and because I went on to have a very very unhappy two years I don't think I equate career success with personal happiness.
Marriage is wild. I thought it was this perfect land of happiness and joy. Wrong! After you say you do you don't for a long time.
I've often thought if I didn't make my marriage work I would have failed at my one true shot at happiness.
Getting married for me was the best thing I ever did. I was suddenly beset with an immense sense of release that we have something more important than our separate selves and that is the marriage. There's immense happiness that can come from working towards that.
