“A great portion of wretchedness that has embittered married life, has originated in negligence of trifles. . . . It is a sensitive plant, which will not bear even the touch of unkindness; a delicate flower, which indifference will chill and suspicion blast. It must be watered by the showers of affection, expanded by the cheering glow of kindness, and guarded by the impregnable barrier of unshaken confidence. Thus matured it will bloom with fragrance in every season of life, and sweeten even the loneliness of declining years. ~Thomas Sprat
