Quotations
Marriage
Do you know what it means to come home at night to a woman who'll give you a little love, a little affection, a little tenderness? It means you're in the wrong house, that's what it means.
-Henny Youngman
I love being married. It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.
-Rita Rudner
The man may be the head of the household. But the woman is the neck and she can turn the head whichever way she pleases.
-Nia Vardalos
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"
The heart is like a woman and the head is like a man, and although man is the head of woman, woman is the heart of man, and she turns man's head because she turns his heart.
-Peter Kreeft
"Jesus-Shock"
Find a woman who makes you feel more alive. She won't make life perfect but she'll make it infinitely more interesting. And then love her with all that's in you.
-Gayle G. Roper
"Shadows on the Sand: A Seaside Mystery"
From every human being there rises a light that reaches straight to heaven, and when two souls that are destined to be together find each other, the streams of light flow together and a single brighter light goes forth from that united being.
-Baal Shem Tov
I know not which lives more unnatural lives, obeying husbands or commanding wives.
-Benjamin Franklin
To complain that I could only be married once was like complaining that I had only been born once.
-G. K. Chesterton
