Characters
But sometimes, the curveballs end up smacking us in the chest and close to the heart, leaving bruises that never seem to heal.
A lot of people our age wanted to change the world. Even though it’s a noble idea, I knew I wanted something more traditional...I wanted someone who wanted to marry a wife and mother,
The experts’ advice on improving a marriage? To focus on the four As— attention, appreciation, affection, and attraction.
Gifts of the heart can’t be claimed by anyone except the giver.
And when we were together, you listened in a way that made me feel like I was the only woman in the world. You made me feel complete, and spending time with you just seemed right.
All marriages go through ups and downs, and I believe this is the natural consequence of couples that choose to stay together over the long haul.
I believe that if I’ve done one thing right, it has been to love my wife.
What are we, after all, without our memories, without our dreams?
It was one thing to divide the major assets, but how was it possible to divide the heart?
She views the world through a prism of black and white, right and wrong.
Jane: Absence might make the heart grow fonder. Wilson: I don't think that's possible...You have no idea how much I love you.
But most of all, I learned that it’s possible for two people to fall in love all over again, even when there’s been a lifetime of disappointment between them.
While wounds can be inflicted easily upon those we love, it’s often much more difficult to heal them. Yet the process of healing those wounds provided the richest experience of my life.
I know I can’t change the past, but I can change the future. I can change, too. And I will.
I was dying on the inside, aching for all that we’d lost, and as I stared at our wedding photograph, I hated myself for allowing it to happen.
But love, I’ve come to understand, is more than three words mumbled before bedtime. Love is sustained by action, a pattern of devotion in the things we do for each other every day.
I understand women. There’s no man alive who can honestly say those words and mean them. It just isn’t possible, so there’s no use trying. But that doesn’t mean you can’t love them anyway. And it doesn’t mean that you should ever stop doing your best to let them know how important they are to you.
I come here because this place is special to me. It was here, after all, that I first realized I was in love with Jane, and while I know my life was bettered because of it, I must admit that even now I’m mystified by how it happened.
When people ask me what it’s like to be a parent, I say that it’s among the hardest things you’ll ever do, but in exchange, it teaches you the meaning of unconditional love.
