“The thing about a good marriage is even if a terrible mistake happens, you just can’t imagine your life with anyone else. That’s why you commit to each other, that’s why you make vows to each other, that through the good or the bad you’ll just keep trying. You’re fighting not only for love, you’re fighting for something bigger than either one of you. You’re fighting for the family you’ve become, you’re fighting for the us you’ve become. And that really is worth fighting for.”
“You don’t ever have to feel guilty about removing toxic people from your life. It doesn’t matter whether someone is a relative, romantic interest, employer, childhood friend, or a new acquaintance—you don’t have to make room for people who cause you pain or make you feel small. It’s one thing if a person owns up to their behavior and makes an effort to change. But if a person disregards your feelings, ignores your boundaries, and continues to treat you in a harmful way, they need to go.”
