Famous quotes containing the words marriage and/or issue:

    Women hope men will change after marriage but they don’t; men hope women won’t change but they do.
    Bettina Arndt (20th century)

    Parents are led to believe that they must be consistent, that is, always respond to the same issue the same way. Consistency is good up to a point but your child also needs to understand context and subtlety . . . much of adult life is governed by context: what is appropriate in one setting is not appropriate in another; the way something is said may be more important than what is said. . . .
    Stanley I. Greenspan (20th century)
