"Common courtesy plays a big role in happy marriages. People who are permanently married are polite to one another. They don’t want to hurt one another’s feelings, and they don’t try to make the other one feel humiliated. People who are married for life are extremely kind to one another."

- Frank Pittman

"It is necessary but insufficient to stay married for the children’s sake. It is also necessary to stay happily married for the children’s sake. I’m so glad someone noticed that marriage doesn’t have to make you miserable. It is just so easy to be happy I don’t understand why it isn’t more popular."

- Frank Pittman

"Fathering is not something perfect men do, but something that perfects the man."
