From this episode, "We can't control aging. It just happens. That's just a part of life. And so it's better to be prepared, and be open to it, and embrace it, and enjoy and cherish every moment." - Liz Craven

From this episode, "But quite honestly, what I talk about, our habits that the sooner you start them and the sooner they become part of your life, the better it's going to be because the happiness doesn't come at the end.

There's no score card in a relationship where we keep tabs of who is doing more. It's not the right way to look at a relationship in midlife.
