You don't go by your feelings. You do what is right.
There's no battered woman alive who didn't know in advance that the man was bad.

When a man marries he takes a bigger risk than the woman, because she can march out with his kids, his money, his home, and his dog.
You guys on the white horses keep trying to save women in distress, not realizing you just end up with a distressed woman.
Frankly, too many women treat their husbands as accessories instead of priorities.
Men are very easy- You treat them well, and they behave right. You don't treat them well, and they don't behave right.
Values are principles and ideas that bring meaning to the seemingly mundane experience of life. A meaningful life that ultimately brings happiness and pride requires you to respond to temptations as well as challenges with honor, dignity, and courage.

Losing a child is probably the singular most horrible thing.
Don't underestimate how fine you are.
Would you stop hoping? Hope is just postponed disappointment.
