About this Quote

This quote by Jessica Savitch talks to the importance of effort in marital relationship. Marriage is not something that can be ignored, and it requires the same level of effort as a career. Unlike a profession, however, marital relationship requires a collaboration from both partners. This suggests that both partners should want to put in the work to make the marriage successful. It is inadequate for one partner to do all the work; both partners need to want to put in the effort to make the marriage work. This quote highlights the importance of both partners being willing to put in the effort to make the marriage successful.
