Marriage Quote by Charles Benedict
““My husband grabbed my hand and held onto it as we walked down the aisle toward the exit and I did not let go. A powerful wave of discomfort washed over me and I almost pulled my hand away. Instead, I found the courage to hold his hand, as any other married couple would do, and walked out the door in the presence of all my former brother priests.””

![“I don't like being away from home. That's one reason why I don't work as much as I used to [when I started my career], because so many things are on the road. I just don't want to be away from my husband, my dogs and my home. I don't sing that much any more because that also takes you on the road.” quote by Jane Powell](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/07c/jane-powell-36243_away_i-don-t-like-being-away-from-home-that-s_278.jpg)
