"Women need real moments of solitude and self-reflection to balance out how much of ourselves we give..." — Barbara De Angelis

The real act of marriage takes place in the heart, not in the ballroom or church or synagogue. It's a choice you make - not just on your wedding day, but over and over again - and that choice is reflected in the way you treat your husband or wife.

We don't develop courage by being happy every day. We develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity.

No one is in control of your happiness but you; therefore, you have the power to change anything about yourself or your life that you want to change.
