In the end, marriage comes down to actions. I think people talk too much about the things that bother them, instead of actually doing the little things that keep a marriage strong.

Nicholas Sparks
Strong, Hurt, Thinking

With her steady hand she showed how important it was to help others; with her patience and kindness she showed me what life really is all about.
