I think in  our house we don’t take ourselves too seriously, and laughter is the  best form of unity, I think, in a marriage. So we still find ways to have fun together, and a lot of it is private  and personal. But we keep each other smiling and that’s good.” - Michelle Obama (Live! With Regis and Kelly.)
