Jerry Falwell about making marriage work: "Macel and I decided years ago, we are going to do whatever we have to to make this marriage work. It's been 42 years now... and we are committed to another 42, or whatever God allows ... I never have to guess how Macel feels about something - she tells me! ... Learn to talk without fighting. You can win the argument and lose your marriage! Marriage is a relationship, not a contest. There are no winners, unless you both win! Talk together, pray together, then play together."

Kathy Holmgren, on interdependence in marriage: "The older I've gotten, I realize that each one of us, we have to find our own life. If he's happy in what he does, that makes for a better partner for me. And he feels the same way about me. So he's really very nice about giving me opportunities to enrich myself and to really do the kinds of things that I like to do. ... It's real important for each one of us to have our own life, so that I don't depend on him for my happiness. I have to be happy on my own. But we really do like to spend time together, so it's not like we lead separate lives. Whenever we can be together, we would opt for that, because we really like each other."

Mike Holmgren, about priorities: "...My priorities in life are faith, family and football - in that order...but I will not risk losing my marriage or my family for my career. If pro football ever begins to undermine what matters most in life, then I'll go back to coaching high school. It's that simple!"
