Since marriage is inevitably a relationship between two unique people, no one marriage is going to be exactly like any other.

Once upon a time, Aristophanes relates, there were gods in the heavens and humans down on earth. But we humans did not look the way we look today.

A feeling of security. Know the emotional drivers and you can frame the benefits of any deal in language that will resonate. — Chris Voss
