Abby Aldrich Rockefeller: He means home to me

Since we are redecorating our 1930s home, I enjoy looking at pictures of homes of the 1930s and 1940s. Today I found an interesting quote by Abby Aldrich Rockefeller on a site about Bassett Hall from the Victoriana ...daily blog. Basset Hall in Williamsburg, Virginia was one of the residences of the Rockefellers in their later years.

Abby Aldrich Rockefeller: "I am happy and contented whereever your father happens to be. He means home to me. I really feel sorry for the unhappy people who cannot find companionship in their married lives. I do not believe that it is something that happens, I think it is something that is achieved."

Abby Rockefeller's comment reinforces the importance of friendship in your marriage and knowing what makes you happy.
