Quotations
Marriage

-Gabriel García Márquez
Success in marriage does not come merely through finding the right mate but through being the right mate.

-Thomas Hardy

-Philippa Gregory
"The Other Queen"
Women leave their marriages when they can't take any more. Men leave when they find someone new.
-J. Courtney Sullivan
"Commencement"
Marriage has no guarantees. If that's what you're looking for, go live with a car battery.
-Erma Bombeck
I first learned the concepts of non-violence in my marriage.
-Mahatma Gandhi
Oh, Lizzy! Do anything rather than marry without affection.
-Jane Austen

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
