Quotes by Ada Calhoun (?)

“By staying married, we give something to ourselves and to others: hope. Hope that in steadfastly loving someone, we ourselves, for all our faults, will be loved; that the broken world will be made whole. To hitch your rickety wagon to the flickering star of another fallible human being -- what an insane thing to do. What a burden, and what a gift.”
― Ada Calhoun, Wedding Toasts I'll Never Give

tags: burden, faults, gift, love-and-be-loved, marriage

“So what's the secret to staying together?" I asked her. "Be nice?" she offered. I laughed, but that may be it, the way a secret to losing weight is to eat less. Be nice. Don't leave. That's all.”
― Ada Calhoun, Wedding Toasts I'll Never Give

tags: be-nice, kindness, marriage, staying-together

“As married people, we dwell on a spectrum between happy and unhappy, in love and out of love, and we move back and forth on that line decade by decade, year by year, week by week, even hour by hour.”
― Ada Calhoun, Wedding Toasts I'll Never Give

tags: happy, in-love, marriage, married-life, out-of-love, unhappy
