Quotations
Marriage

-Warren Farrell
A good husband is never the first to go to sleep at night or the last to awake in the morning.
-Honoré De Balzac
Success in marriage does not come merely through finding the right mate but through being the right mate.

-Elizabeth Cadell
A woman is not property and husbands who think otherwise are living in a dreamworld.
-Robert A. Heinlein
Men marry women with the hope they will never change. Women marry men with the hope they will change. Invariably they are both disappointed.
-Albert Einstein
Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, and half shut afterwards.
