Quotations
Marriage
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
Marriage is an alliance entered into by a man who can't sleep with the window shut, and a woman who can't sleep with the window open.
-George Bernard Shaw
A good husband is never the first to go to sleep at night or the last to awake in the morning.
-Honoré De Balzac
It is not your love that sustains the marriage,
but from now on, the marriage that sustains your love
-Dietrich Bonhoeffer
