The problem with marriage is that it ends every night after making love, and it must be rebuilt every morning before breakfast.
-Gabriel García Márquez
Quotations
Marriage
Oh, Lizzy! Do anything rather than marry without affection.
-Jane Austen
"Pride and Prejudice"
One should always be in love. That is the reason one should never marry.
-Oscar Wilde
Marriage is more about work than about divine luck, more about finding someone to love than about finding someone to meet your own laundry list of personal needs.
-Mark Gorman
Getting divorced just because you don't love a man is almost as silly as getting married just because you do.
- Ivan Doig
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
It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
A long marriage is two people trying to dance a duet and two solos at the same time.
-Anne Taylor Fleming
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"
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
