Quotations
Marriage
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"
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
Some marriages are made in heaven, but they all have to be maintained on earth.
-Debbie Macomber

-Michel De Montaigne
No marriage stays in the same pattern forever. It is both the best feature of marriage and the worst that it inevitably changes.
-Lisa Kleypas
"Love in the Afternoon"
A good marriage is where both people feel like they're getting the better end of the deal.
-Anne Lamott "Joe Jones"
The desire to get married is a basic and primal instinct in women. It's followed by another basic and primal instinct: the desire to be single again.
-Nora Ephron
An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have. The older she gets, the more interested he is in her.
-Agatha Christie
