Quotations
Marriage
The proper basis for marriage is mutual misunderstanding.
-Oscar Wilde
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
When women hold off from marrying men, we call it independence. When men hold off from marrying women, we call it fear of commitment.
-Warren Farrell
A good marriage is where both people feel like they're getting the better end of the deal.
-Anne Lamott "Joe Jones"
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"
Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, and half shut afterwards.
-Benjamin Franklin
One should always be in love. That is the reason one should never marry.
-Oscar Wilde
Oh, Lizzy! Do anything rather than marry without affection.
