Quotations
Marriage
Success in marriage does not come merely through finding the right mate but through being the right mate.
-Barnett R. Brickner
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.
-Helen Hollick
"The Kingmaking"
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"
Women leave their marriages when they can't take any more. Men leave when they find someone new.
-J. Courtney Sullivan
"Commencement"
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
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"
I wouldn't want to marry anybody who was wicked, but I think I'd like it if he COULD be wicked and WOULDN'T.
-L. M. Montgomery
"Anne of the Island"
He knows little who will tell his wife all he knows.

There is nothing more lovely in life than the union of two people whose love for one another has grown through the years from the small acorn of passion into a great rooted tree.
-Vita Sackville-West
