Random quote

“Being married is only like learning to fly. Most of the time, you feel like you could stay up there forever. Obviously there are going to times when you fall off, there are going to be some twigs you’ll have to trim, but just be patient, keep at it, don’t be scared to go higher and for the sake of magic, always stick to the same model!”
