What there is about marriage that sours the milk of human kindness in so many husbands‘ and wives’ breasts, and changes them from cooing doves into snarling cats and dogs, is any- body's guess. Mine is that we are the victims of our romantic dreams and when life wakes us up from them we just can't take it. We have erected a false standard of marriage that makes us expect to go on eating our wedding cake for forty or fifty years, and when we find we have lost our taste for it, we blame the party of the other part for not making it sweet enough. <

At the bottom of nine-tenths of the unhappy marriages is not some crime that the husbands and wives have committed against each other, but their disappointment over the honeymoon having set.
