I don't know why but the older I get the more interested I get in my parents' marriage. And it's interesting to be married yourself too because there is an inevitable comparison.

My parents separated when I was four. It wasn't the smoothest of divorces but then as my mother always says 'You can't have a passionate marriage without a passionate divorce.'

My parents' marriage was very rocky. They were always arguing. When they split up when I was in my 20s my brother and I were both delighted because we knew they weren't good for each other.

My parents had a great marriage. Interestingly it made it harder for me in relationships because I knew what a good relationship looked like.

My parents separated when I was four. It wasn't the smoothest of divorces but then as my mother always says you can't have a passionate marriage without a passionate divorce.

In 1977 we played America and Europe three times and Japan - my marriage suffered as a result. My then wife took the kids to Canada to be near her parents.

My parents did not have a perfect marriage. It was pretty good but it was not perfect. My marriage is not perfect. My wife is but I happen to be imperfect. However that does not discount the fact that the definition of marriage must be defended and protected.

My kids have moved more in their twenties you know than my parents have moved in nearly 40-something years of marriage before they died. So there's a part of me that laments what we have lost and that is a sense of community.

The sad truth is that the civil rights movement cannot be reborn until we identify the causes of black suffering some of them self-inflicted. Why can't black leaders organize rallies around responsible sexuality birth within marriage parents reading to their children and students staying in school and doing homework?

I think like any marriage especially when you've had divorced parents like myself you want to try even harder to make it work.

Is there a doctor in the house? My parents want me to marry you.

From your parents you learn love and laughter and how to put one foot before the other. But when books are opened you discover that you have wings.

Because parents have power over children. They feel they have to do what their parents say. But the love of money is the root of all evil. And this is a sweet child. And to see him turn like this this isn't him. This is not him.

We never know the love of a parent till we become parents ourselves.

You can't live your life blaming your failures on your parents and what they did or didn't do for you. You're dealt the cards that you're dealt. I realised it was a waste of time to be angry at my parents and feel sorry for myself.

These technologies can make life easier can let us touch people we might not otherwise. You may have a child with a birth defect and be able to get in touch with other parents and support groups get medical information the latest experimental drugs. These things can profoundly influence life. I'm not downplaying that.

I would expect illegal alien parents to take care of their children. If it means the kids go back home with them that's what happens. If it means there are legal relatives in the United States that can take care of them that can happen to. But I believe it's the parents responsibility to take care of the kids.

I'm more married to Sandy now than when we were married with the legal document. We're still married as parents.

Under these conditions it is not astonishing that learning was highly prized in fact my parents made sacrifices to be able to give their children a good education.

My father is a chemist my mother was a homemaker. My parents instilled in us the feeling that learning was the most exciting thing that could happen to you and it never ends.

I'm happy to be helping people that are passionate about empowering parents for student learning.

In the transmission of human culture people always attempt to replicate to pass on to the next generation the skills and values of the parents but the attempt always fails because cultural transmission is geared to learning not DNA.

It is paradoxical that many educators and parents still differentiate between a time for learning and a time for play without seeing the vital connection between them.

We need to be a leadership position about protecting minors on the Internet and more importantly giving the parents the tools they need to protect them.
