Ruth was famously a terrible cook who cared more about law than food, and Martin soon discovered that if he wanted to enjoy good food with his family, he would have to learn how to cook himself.

Starting with the Escoffier Cookbook, Martin become an accomplished French chef in his own right.

Martin often told people how he did not make Law Review at Harvard, and Ruth did, sharing how he was proud of her successes, even when they were above his own.

However, as he was also very successful in his career as a tax attorney, the couple enjoyed supporting one another and maintaining balance.

Ginsburg was quoted as saying, "We had nearly two whole years far from school, far from career pressures and far from relatives, to learn about each other and begin to build a life."

They thrived in their own domains.

As his lighthearted self, Martin liked to say he was very lucky to have gotten in on an incredible journey by marrying Ruth, on her pathway to the Supreme Court.
