John Wooden wasn’t just a successful basketball coach, he was successful off the court as well. His courtship, marriage, and ongoing love for his bride years after her death is a sweet story. Check out what Coach had to say about marriage—

“Folks think Nellie and I had a perfect marriage, but it was because we worked at it. There are rough patches in any marriage. Very early, we understood that there would be times when we disagreed, but there would never be times when we had to be disagreeable.” 

“I had a successful basketball career, but I believe I had an even more successful marriage.”

I have more quotes from Coach Wooden posted here. And you can read my review of the book Winning With Principle, a book of quotes from Wooden, but clicking here.
