“I know in my own marriage I stayed in it to provide my son with what I...” — Regina King Quote

“I know in my own marriage I stayed in it to provide my son with what I thought was a stable background and to give him what I thought was the family life a child should have with two parents. But that isn't always the best way, and it took me taking my son to therapy after the divorce to really see it.”

“The word 'divorce' wasn't foreign to me. As a child of the 1970s, I grew up as part of a generation of kids whose parents got divorced, and it wasn't seen as this terrible thing. Maybe that's why I believed what my father told me and Reina that day: that everything would be okay. But it wasn't.”

“Marriage always demands the greatest understanding of the art of insincerity possible between two human beings.”

“Interpreting anyone's marriage - a neighbor's, let alone the president's - is extremely difficult.”

“Marriage is popular because it combines the maximum of temptation with the maximum of opportunity.”
