"I know that if you're lucky, you argue less over time, because you grow wise enough (or maybe just tired enough) to stop trying to change each other. Over time, trust trumps passion; understanding becomes more important than discovery. The term "true partnership"--once so dry and adult and boring, boring, boring-- turns into a kind of ideal. You wake up every day, look at the pillow next to you, and think, oh jeeze, you're still here? And then you think, Thank God."--kristin von ogtrop, REALSIMPLE editor
