Treat marriage like a diamond necklace; if broken, fix it, but do not throw it away.

Every friend, every neighbor, and every family member wishes that you retain your golden heart. No one wants to see your love sullied. Yet, they all know a dark circumstance will find you eventually. Know this: You are being hunted--like game. Life will knock you down with some unexpected misfortune. Resolve now, to help your partner get back up. Only a determined family kills its wounded. When everyone else abandons him, come back for your husband.pg 55

A wife who obsesses on "fixing" her husband only succeeds in demeaning him.pg 48
