The only way marriage can work is if a man respects the woman and she is a thinking woman and he wants to work on the marriage.

Ultimately, I believe the only secret to a happy marriage is choosing the right person. Life is a series of choices, right?

I'm extremely fascinated by marriage. I want to study marriage. I want to learn about it. I want to know it. I want to figure out whether or not I want to do it. I'm not just going to leap into it, because that's not good for anybody.

This is a good time to ask apologists for the Islamic regime, who degrades Islam? Who imposes stoning, forced marriage of underage girls and flogging for not wearing the veil? Do such practices represent Iran's ancient history and culture, its ethnic and religious diversity? Its centuries of sensual and subversive poetry?

I love marriage. I failed at marriage, but I'd rather go into anything with gusto and fail than go into it half-assed.
