Quotemeal: Oct. 18th, 2011

Tuesday, October 18, 2011

"The statistically proven facts that married people live longer, lead healthier and happier lives, have better sex more often, and are better off financially seem to be lost on Americans. All lifestyles are equally good, the marriage critics say; there is no one way of living that is better than another. But the culture is wrong!"
— Dr. Fred Lowery
