Emily: It's not about the party. I've come to talk to you about your marriage.
Lorelai: My marriage?
Emily: Yes, I'm concerned. I don't like what I'm seeing, and I've come to offer you some friendly advice.
Lorelai: Mom, I really don't want your advice.
Emily: Well, then consider it unfriendly advice.
Lorelai: Okay.
Emily: Christopher is immature, often foolish, and a little lacking in common sense. He doesn't always make the best choices.
Lorelai: Like with me? Are you saying he chose wrongly in choosing me?
Emily: I'm saying he's your husband, Lorelai, for better or for worse. I like Christopher.
Lorelai: Okay.
Emily: I think he's good for you. But it's not going to be perfect. He's not perfect, and God knows you're not perfect. But marriage is not about always being happy, and often it's about not being happy at all. It's about compromise, which is not your strong suite. Marriage is about swallowing your pride sometimes, about doing what he wants. It's not about winning an argument, which may make you sad, because that's what you love. But I don't want to see you ruin this. Marriage is serious business, Lorelai, and if you don't take this very seriously, then this whole thing could fall apart faster than you could possibly imagine. And he'll be gone, and you'll be alone again. A ring is no guarantee. Sorry for scaring you.
