"The machinations of mid-life marriage are a mystery. They're rarely discussed, dissected or dwelt upon (...). But beyond the glamorous dress and the rosing church bells lies a landscape that's barely charted (..)"
"A marriage, it seems to me, is a long (if you're lucky) and often difficult journey. It may have times of great happiness but it also have times of great sadness; times where the path is easy and your tread is light, and times where the going is very rough, and you put one foot in front of the other without being able to see very far ahead.
Perhaps more marriages would survive if our expectations were more realistic. Instead, while one in three floundres, we inhabit a media bubble where marriage is all about snogging and sex, happiness and money, order and tidiness."
