I should have been out there having a wild time like all the other girls my age, but I wasn't. I was going home every night to what was, initially, a very happy marriage.

Every time I slip into the ocean, it's like going home.

Having been let out of the barn once, I know I wouldn't be happy if I were home all the time.

I hate leaving home. I love what I do, but I'd love to go home every night.

I'm happy going home early and working out and just being a mother and being a wife.

In that conversation with Richard, Kris did precisely what she'd done before offering her tennis quitting advice from years before. She paid attention. Instead of getting swept up in a reaction--regardless of how legitimate it would have been--she unseated herself and chose to focus on what Richard was saying. That kind of awareness is rare. It's rare in a person and even more so with a couple.
