Quotations
Marriage
It appears that ordinary men take wives because possession is not possible without marriage, and that ordinary women accept husbands because marriage is not possible without possession.
-Thomas Hardy
"Far from the Madding Crowd"
I wouldn't want to marry anybody who was wicked, but I think I'd like it if he COULD be wicked and WOULDN'T.
-L. M. Montgomery
"Anne of the Island"
Become the kind of person the kind of person you would like to marry would like to marry.
-Douglas Wilson
Do you know what it means to come home at night to a woman who'll give you a little love, a little affection, a little tenderness? It means you're in the wrong house, that's what it means.
-Henny Youngman
Getting divorced just because you don't love a man is almost as silly as getting married just because you do.
- Ivan Doig
Marriage should be between a spouse and a spouse, not a gender and a gender.
-Hendrik Hertzberg
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
If you get bored with the person you married for love, there's something wrong with you - not with that person.
-Shahrukh Khan
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.
-H. Norman Wright
