  2. William Goldman _ The Princess Bride

    I must court her now,' said the Prince. 'Leave us alone for a minute.' He rode the white expertly down the hill.Buttercup had never seen such a giant beast. Or such a rider.'I am your Prince and you will marry me,' Humperdinck said.Buttercup whispered, 'I am your servant and I refuse.''I am your Prince and you cannot refuse.''I am your loyal servant and I just did.''Refusal means death.''Kill me then.''I am your Prince and I'm not that bad - how could you rather be dead than married to me?''Because,' Buttercup said, 'marriage involves love, and that is not a pastime at which I excel. I tried once, and it went badly, and I am sworn never to love another.' 'Love?' said Prince Humperdinck. 'Who mentioned love? Not me, I can tell you. Look: there must always be a male heir to the throne of Florin. That's me. Once my father dies, there won't be an heir, just a king. That's me again. When that happens, I'll marry and have children until there is a son. So you can either marry me and be the richest and most powerful woman in a thousand miles and give turkeys away at Christmas and provide me a son, or you can die in terrible pain in the very near future. Make up your own mind.''I'll never love you.''I wouldn't want it if I had it.''Then by all means let us marry.

    Destructive behavior-or simply behavior that constantly annoys your spouse to the point of desperation-is not right, and there will always be a serious consequence for it in your marriage and personal life. But every attempt you make to rid yourself of that behavior and do what's right will bring reward.Today, ask God to help break any bad habits that you or your spouse may have.

  6. Michael W Smith

    Born as we are into a fallen race of sinners, we all tend to be selfish. We want things our way. We want what we want when we want it. Good parents do their best to train and discipline that selfishness out of us, and good teachers and pastors reinforce the lesson. But that self-centered tendency is deep-rooted, and it almost always requires hand-to-hand combat in the arena of life where the wants of self are pitted against the needs of others. Marriage and family provides this arena. Family is the perfect challenge to selfishness. Living in a family demands that I be sensitive to the needs of others. It demands my time. It intrudes on my wants. It tramples my ego. It virtually obliterates the concept of leisure. What a blessing

  8. Simone de Beauvoir _ The Second Sex

    In oppressing, one becomes oppressed. Men are enchained by reason of their very sovereignty; it is because they alone earn money that their wives demand checks, it is because they alone engage in a business or profession that their wives require them to be successful, it is because they alone embody transcendence that their wives wish to rob them of it by taking charge...

  12. Elizabeth Gilbert _ Eat, Pray, Love

    My husband was sleeping in the other room, in our bed.I equal parts loved him and could not stand him. I couldn't wake him to share in my distress-what would be the point? He'd already been watching me fall apart for months now, watching me behave like a madwoman {we both agreed on that word}, and I only exhausted him. We both knew there was something wrong with me, and he'd been losing patience with it. We'd been fighting and crying, and we were weary in that way that only a couple whose marriage is collapsing can be weary. We had the eyes of refugees.
