Quotations
Marriage
How can two people love each other, create children together, cohabitation, build a life together, and then end up hating each other in the end.
-Zane
Some people claim that marriage interferes with romance. There's no doubt about it. Anytime you have a romance, your wife is bound to interfere.
-Groucho Marx
The essential matrimonial facts: that to be happy you have to find variety in repetition; that to go forward you have to come back to where you begin.
-Jeffrey Eugenides
"Middlesex"
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"
Don’t be jealous if I spend 50% of my time with you and 50% of my time with others, because you get 100% of 50%, while all the others have to share that other 50%. This is the speech I’ve prepared to tell my wife in the future, when I’m spending a majority minus one percent of my time with my clones.
-Jarod Kintz "This Book Has No Title"
Why does a woman work ten years to change a man’s habit and then complain that he's not the man she married?
-Barbra Streisand
Two people can only live as one when each is prepared to give and receive trust and understanding. Above that lies respect. Without respect for how the other feels, no marriage is worthwhile.
-Helen Hollick
"The Kingmaking"
Let men tremble to win the hand of woman, unless they win along with it the utmost passion of her heart!
-Nathaniel Hawthorne
"The Scarlet Letter"
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
