When my son first started driving, he asked me, when we were going through the insurance process, could he be listed as a secondary driver, and I would be the primary, which would make the insurance much cheaper. And I said "Son, that's just not the right thing to do. He didn't like that, because it was money that was coming out of his pocket. But I think later on he did realize that was the right thing to do.

I remember a time when I had to tell my fiancee - soon to be wife - about something from my past that I knew I had to tell her. But I knew it wasn't going to be fun, but I did it. It set the stage for where we communicate today, now fourteen years into marriage.

Some things I appreciate about my wife are: she's kind, extremely supportive. Her hard labor is an asset to what I do. She's a hard worker. She hustles all day long.

Well, the kitchen is a mess, because my children cleared the table so I doubt that they're even stacked up. The living room has toys and scraps of paper. I know of at least one dirty diaper sitting around in the bedroom. The toilets probably haven't even been flushed!

31 years ago, when I married my wife, I told her I loved her, that day. And if I ever change my mind, I'll be sure and tell her that, too.

I love my wife because of how much respect I have for her and all that she does for me. I love my wife because I think she's cute.

Always gives me what I want, as long as it doesn't cost too much… He told me the other night how he loves that he comes home and the house is in order…When you're feeling down and blue and big and pregnant he tells me that he thinks I am the most beautiful woman in the world.

I did not have family devotions growing up. I went to a Christian school and had a Christian home, but that was just something that we never did together. I think that it made it harder for me to be committed and do a daily devotion on my own. It made that harder.

My husband and I were watching the movie Zorro. He was sitting in the theater with his arms crossed and just being really bored. And then on the screen came the leading actress. And he sat straight up in his chair and he goes, "Now this is a movie!"

I want to marry someone who's tall and handsome and rich, and hates spinach as much as me.

Sometimes I'll write down general goals, just into a notebook, or on a piece of paper, but it's usually not all at one time, it's usually periodically.
