I know people that I respect and admire and look up to who have had extra-marital affairs.

Marriage is something that needs to be worked on every day. I don't know if I'm the one to give marital advice since I've only been married for a little over a year but marriage is certainly easier if you are open trusting and loving.

I have a theory that the secret of marital happiness is simple: drink in different pubs to your other half.

I hate to be a failure. I hate and regret the failure of my marriages. I would gladly give all my millions for just one lasting marital success.

I was quite able at the insignificant work I did in MI6 but absolutely dysfunctional in my domestic life. I had no experience of fatherhood. I had no example of marital bliss or the family unit.

Study after study confirms that even when you control for variables like profession education hours worked age marital status and children men still are compensated substantially more - even in professions like nursing dominated by women. No wonder there's a gender gap.
