There's lots of problem solving in any marriage but when you have this collective goal that is a human being it's an inspiring rally point.

Marriage has been defined by every legislature that has ever sat in the United States from every State now 50 States the same way but now we have unelected judges altering and changing that fundamental institution.

Our black president can't say that he's for gay marriage. That is upsetting to me.

Religious institutions should have religious freedom on this issue. No church or minister should ever have to conduct a marriage that is inconsistent with their religious beliefs. But I think as a civil institution this issue's time has come and we need to move forward.

I left my marriage knowing I'd have to work. I have.

I got married at 22 and remained in an abusive marriage for 10 years. I made up my mind that that was never going to happen to me again. I made a brave step to walk out in a society when you didn't walk out of an abusive marriage. It was mental and physical abuse.

The reason for not getting married was that I just didn't have a partner to get married to. Climbing mountains was more attractive to me than marriage or other fun things like that.

I guess you kind of got to realize that once you in a marriage whatever it is you gotta deal with it. Not necessarily that you got to accept it but you have to deal with it and try your best to make it work for you for the both of you.

People used to say my son looked like a Mexican Biggie. And when he was first born memories of Biggie... you know we didn't always have the greatest days. For at least half the length of our marriage we were separated so everyday was definitely not a good day.

I lost my second marriage because of drinking and I loved the woman very much. But I thought I needed booze to write. I'm glad I was disabused.
