Quotations
Marriage
A woman is not property and husbands who think otherwise are living in a dreamworld.
-Robert A. Heinlein
I know not which lives more unnatural lives, obeying husbands or commanding wives.
-Benjamin Franklin
Two people can only live as one when each is prepared to give and receive trust and understanding. Above that lies respect. Without respect for how the other feels, no marriage is worthwhile.

-Mark Gorman

-Jane Austen
"Pride and Prejudice"
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.
-Jarod Kintz "This Book Has No Title"
Success in marriage does not come merely through finding the right mate but through being the right mate.
