There is nothing more admirable than when two people who see eye to eye keep house as man and wife, confounding their enemies and delighting their friends.

Quotations
Marriage
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
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
Oh, Lizzy! Do anything rather than marry without affection.
-Jane Austen
"Pride and Prejudice"
Marriage has no guarantees. If that's what you're looking for, go live with a car battery.
-Erma Bombeck
When a man steals your wife, there is no better revenge than to let him keep her.
-Sacha Guitry
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"
It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
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 isn't about Winning - It's about Lasting
-Mark Gorman
