Quotations
Marriage
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"
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"
An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have. The older she gets, the more interested he is in her.
-Agatha Christie
In marriage, each partner is to be an encourager rather than a critic; a forgiver rather than a collector of hurts; an enabler rather than a reformer.

An undutiful daughter will prove an unmanageable wife.
-Benjamin Franklin
If there is such a thing as a good marriage, it is because it resembles friendship rather than love.
-Michel De Montaigne
Never forget the nine most important words of any family:
I love you.
You are beautiful.
Please forgive me.
-H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
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
The man may be the head of the household. But the woman is the neck and she can turn the head whichever way she pleases.
-Nia Vardalos
