Quotations
Marriage
He knows little who will tell his wife all he knows.
-Thomas Fuller
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
A man ought to be able to be fond of his wife without making a fool of himself about her.
-George Bernard Shaw
The problem with marriage is that it ends every night after making love, and it must be rebuilt every morning before breakfast.
-Gabriel García Márquez
Oh, Lizzy! Do anything rather than marry without affection.
-Jane Austen

To complain that I could only be married once was like complaining that I had only been born once.
-G. K. Chesterton
Become the kind of person the kind of person you would like to marry would like to marry.
-Douglas Wilson
Find a woman who makes you feel more alive. She won't make life perfect but she'll make it infinitely more interesting. And then love her with all that's in you.
-Gayle G. Roper
