The comfortable estate of widowhood is the only hope that keeps up a wife's spirits.
I don't think it's easy to be married to anyone.
Everyone knows marriage is tough.
I can tell you right away that no marriage is easy.
I was just so lucky to have a wonderful life after a tough marriage.
All I can say is marriage is hard.
The wives who are not deserted, but who have to feed and clothe and comfort and scold and advise, are the true objects of commiseration; wives whose existence is given over to a ceaseless vigil of cantankerous affection.
Marriage. The beginning and the end are wonderful. But the middle part is hell.
