Married women are far more depressed than married men - in unhappy marriages, three times more; and - interestingly - in happy marriages, five times more.

And since you never get it done, it's time to stop being unhappy about what's undone, because most of it is undone! You are an eternal being. Most of it is undone. Instead of taking score about what's been achieved - we want you to start feeling anticipation about what is still to arrive.
Esther Hicks
