“My grandma said, ‘Men are very visual, so don’t forget that. Every day, put a little makeup on, put on some nice underwear and you’ll keep your husband.’” -Miranda Kerr on her Grandmother’s marriage advice.

“I have little kids in school. I want to maintain my marriage and my family, so I have to be here when he comes home.” Hence her recent advice to a girlfriend (who remains tantalizingly unnamed): “She is an actress and in a new realtionship with someone else with a big career, and I said this may not be feminist, but you to compromise. It’s been all about you and you’re a big deal. And if you want what you’re saying you want -a family -you have to be a wife, and that is part of the equation. Gloria Steinem may string me up by my toes, but all I can do is my best, and I can do only what works for me and my family.”  – Gwyneth Paltrow for Bazaar Magazine

“The first thing about love is that you have to love yourself. No relationship will work unless you do. You have to be hard on yourself, demanding of yourself, but you have to like yourself. You can’t be needy. It doesn’t matter how much people love you. You cannot be needy. It’s very unattractive and a turnoff. And therefor its a game. That’s why it’s so important to be independent and have an identity outside your family. Because otherwise it can feel like you have no identity. And that is terrible. It’s not becoming, and it’s not pretty, and it makes you insecure, and you run into a hole.” – Diane von Furstenberg

“You are the care taker. The warrior over all wounds. The soother from dreams gone bad. The master of making sure everyone stays healthy and gets a balanced meal. The one who sends her children off to school happy and with homework done. You are the booster of self confidence. You are a multi tasker and problem solver. You are a mom.”

HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!

“An understanding of what relationship means like Joseph Campbell says ‘There is a difference between a love affair and a marriage. A love affair ends as soon as the romance and the excitement ends, but a marriage is a commitment.’ It’s kind of a dying of ones self. Thats what a marriage is about, you kind of have to understand that you have to work for the greater good.” – Viola Davis
