Don’t be jealous if I spend 50% of my time with you and 50% of my time with others, because you get 100% of 50%, while all the others have to share that other 50%. This is the speech I’ve prepared to tell my wife in the future, when I’m spending a majority minus one percent of my time with my clones.
It appears that ordinary men take wives because possession is not possible without marriage, and that ordinary women accept husbands because marriage is not possible without possession.
-Thomas Hardy
"Far from the Madding Crowd"
It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
Marriage has no guarantees. If that's what you're looking for, go live with a car battery.
-Erma Bombeck
Let men tremble to win the hand of woman, unless they win along with it the utmost passion of her heart!
-Nathaniel Hawthorne
"The Scarlet Letter"
If you both care for each other more than you care for yourself, your marriage will endure all.
-Lisa Tawn Bergren
Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, and half shut afterwards.
-Benjamin Franklin
An undutiful daughter will prove an unmanageable wife.
-Benjamin Franklin
There is more of good nature than of good sense at the bottom of most marriages.
-Henry David Thoreau
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
