Quotes About the Marriage of Jessica and Jerry Seinfeld:

Jerry: "We really just love to be together. I think all couples have to learn that when you get married that you're going to have these fights. You think it's going to be perfect and it comes as a huge shock ... Love means commitment. That you accept that it's normal to fight."
