Quotations
Marriage
Marriage should be between a spouse and a spouse, not a gender and a gender.
-Hendrik Hertzberg
By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you’ll become happy; if you get a bad one, you’ll become a philosopher.
-Socrates
When a woman thinks her husband is a fool, her marriage is over. They may part in one year or ten; they may live together until death. But if she thinks he is a fool, she will not love him again.
-Philippa Gregory
"The Other Queen"
A woman is not property and husbands who think otherwise are living in a dreamworld.
-Robert A. Heinlein
If women were particular about men's characters, they would never get married at all.
-George Bernard Shaw
A good wife always forgives her husband when she's wrong.
-Milton Berle
Marriage has no guarantees. If that's what you're looking for, go live with a car battery.
-Erma Bombeck
The problem with marriage is that it ends every night after making love, and it must be rebuilt every morning before breakfast.
-Gabriel García Márquez
Marriage is more about work than about divine luck, more about finding someone to love than about finding someone to meet your own laundry list of personal needs.
-Mark Gorman
