You can never build happiness on someone else's sorrows.

This completely changed the way I see Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward. The real love story wasn’t that they were perfect — it was that they knew exactly how imperfect their marriage was and still chose each other, year after year.

I'd never put up with an alcoholic or drug addict, women who do are way too patient imo

Real marriage is always up and down - and a choice to stay or not.

There was clearly so much more to their relationship than what people saw from the outside. Joanne’s decision says a lot about how deeply she loved Paul.

You can never tell the internal dynamics of a marriage on the basis of outward appearances. Just because a couple stays together doesn't necessarily mean they're *happy*: it could be only a façade.

Betrayal is a symptom. What is happening in the person who betrays? How does he/she justify going against what he/she vows not to? What is his/her sense of self-trust? Does he/she trust themselves to care fundamentally for his/her own emotions, pain, addictions? What is the level of self-abandonment and how does she/he justify it? It seems like Paul and Joanne dug deeply ... in this adventure of relating, living and understanding. It's not just a finger wagging moral judgement against affairs, it's a profound observation of what it is to be human and try to love well.
