Quotations
Marriage
Some marriages are made in heaven, but they all have to be maintained on earth.
-Debbie Macomber
"Mrs. Miracle"
There is a French saying; Love is the dawn of marriage and marriage is the sunset of love.

-Philippa Gregory
"The Other Queen"

-H. Norman Wright
A long marriage is two people trying to dance a duet and two solos at the same time.
-Anne Taylor Fleming
Oh, Lizzy! Do anything rather than marry without affection.
-Jane Austen
"Pride and Prejudice"
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 good marriage, like any partnership, meant subordinating one's own needs to that of the other's, in the expectation that the other will do the same.
-Nicholas Sparks
