Quotes

“Love in my house, it wasn’t really there, it was more of a hostile environment. It’s hard to talk about but I feel like I’m lucky because without those things I wouldn’t be the person I am.” -Trish

“I don’t care if you’re 13 or 14 or 37 it doesn’t matter when you find that person that takes your heart, you’re committed, and I think we found it early.” -Vinnie

“Whether it was the pick-up line for your kid or a walk around the neighborhood at night or on the boat… whether you’re pulling a trap up, lobster or a crab trap. Doing what you had to do but making sure you had that time to connect. -Matthew

“Why step on a landmine if you know its a landmine, that’s insanity, I know I’m going to get hurt and I’m going to do it anyways” -Matthew

“The greatest predictors of divorce or a relationship falling apart is when spouses can not accept influence from each other or are not willing to” -Matthew

“You have to have love and if you have love everything else kinda falls into place. If I had to go back to that pre-marriage self I’d say make sure you have love it really is the most important thing If you love somebody wholeheartedly everything else will work itself out,” -Trish
