A good husband is never the first to go to sleep at night or the last to awake in the morning.
-Honoré De Balzac
Quotations
Marriage
Some people claim that marriage interferes with romance. There's no doubt about it. Anytime you have a romance, your wife is bound to interfere.
-Groucho Marx
Marriage is a romance in which the hero dies in the first chapter.
-Anonymous
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"
How can two people love each other, create children together, cohabitation, build a life together, and then end up hating each other in the end.
-Zane
A good marriage is where both people feel like they're getting the better end of the deal.
-Anne Lamott "Joe Jones"
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
In marriage, each partner is to be an encourager rather than a critic; a forgiver rather than a collector of hurts; an enabler rather than a reformer.
-H. Norman Wright
You'll be happy if you'll remember that men don't change much. Women do. Women adapt themselves, and if you think that means they lose their individuality, you're wrong. Show me a happy marriage and I'll show you a clever woman.
-Elizabeth Cadell
Marriage isn't about Winning - It's about Lasting
-Mark Gorman
