“It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.”
Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche, German philosopher, poet, composer
This gentleman said a lot of things that are mind-bogglingly dumb, but this is one quote that I can heartily endorse. In any situation; work, home, at play – there needs to be a covenant of basic friendship for it all to work out. This is especially true in marriage, where the underlying goal is to build up your partner, even at the expense of your own interests.
