       “The reality is that fights are common and there have been times where we’ve been at our wit’s end, but this is normal as we are both human.

       “Let us not hope too much for perfection because we won’t find it. Our role as wives is to fill in the missing pieces of our husband so we may both be perfect,” she said.
