- “Well, there's something to be said about leading by example. And so maybe I'm not saying that you beat them over the head with it, but if you say, listen, if you won't go to counseling with me and if you won't go to counseling on your own, I'm going to go because I want to work on this marriage.“ by Jade Warshaw
