But a marriage is a life commitment, and a life commitment means the prime concern of your life. If marriage is not the prime concern, you’re not married.” Joseph Campbell Marriage Commitment, Love And Union, Marriage, Commitment, Love, Union

Her readers would have imagined at once that the writer was preaching against our social customs in an underhand way. And they would write letters to the papers.” Rabindranath Tagore Class, Marriage, Societal Norms, Critique, Narrative

If Gottman observes one or both partners in a marriage showing contempt toward the other, he considers it the single most important sign that the marriage is in trouble.” Malcolm Gladwell Relationships, Contempt, Conflict, Warning Signs, Marriage
30. “Gottman has found, in fact, that the presence of contempt in a marriage can even predict such things as how many colds a husband or a wife gets; in other words, having someone you love express contempt toward you is so stressful that it begins to affect the functioning of your immune system.” Malcolm Gladwell Marriage, Contempt, Relationships, Stress, Health
