This Side of Heaven

This is it

I’ve repeatedly said that for people who have as little in common as  Joanne and myself, we have an uncommonly good marriage. We are actors.  We make pictures and that’s about all we have in common. Maybe that’s  enough. Wives shouldn’t feel obligated to accompany their husbands to a  ball game, husbands do look a bit silly attending morning coffee breaks  with the neighborhood wives when most men are out at work. Husbands and  wives should have separate interests, cultivate different sets of  friends and not impose on the other … You can’t spend a lifetime  breathing down each other’s necks … We are very, very different people  and yet somehow we fed off those varied differences and instead of  separating us, it has made the whole bond a lot stronger. —Paul Newman
