Marriage Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Marriage

1.
She is a wife who is the soul of her husband.
Hitopadesa

2.
Say what you will, making marriage work is a woman's business. The institution was invented to do her homage; it was contrived for her protection. Unless she accepts it as such --as a beautiful, bountiful, but quite unequal association --the going will be hard indeed.
Mcginley, Phyllis

3.
Those that marry for money sell their liberty.
Proverb

4.
Love is blind and marriage is the institution for the blind.
Graham, James

5.
Marriage is that relation between man and woman in which the independence is equal, the dependence mutual, and the obligation reciprocal.
Anspacher, Louis K.

6.
To marry a man out of pity is folly; and, if you think you are going to influence the kind of fellow who has never had a chance, poor devil, you are profoundly mistaken. One can only influence the strong characters in life, not the weak; and it is the height of vanity to suppose that you can make an honest man of anyone.
Asquith, Margot

7.
That is what marriage really means: helping one another to reach the full status of being persons, responsible and autonomous beings who do not run away from life.
Paul Tournier

8.
Marriage is an alliance entered into by a man who cannot sleep with window shut, and a woman who cannot sleep with the window open.
Nash, Ogden

9.
Though I want a kingdom, yet in marriage I may not prove inferior to yourself.
William Shakespeare

10.
My wife and I were happy for twenty. Then we met!
Dangerfield, Rodney

11.
Never join with your friend when he abuses his horse or his wife, unless the one is to be sold and the other to be buried.
Colton, Charles Caleb

12.
I wonder, among all the tangles of this mortal coil, which one contains tighter knots to undo, and consequently suggests more tugging, and pain, and diversified elements of misery, than the marriage tie.
Edith Wharton

13.
Marriage must be a relation either of sympathy or of conquest.
Eliot, George

14.
Marriage is a three ring circus: engagement ring, wedding ring, and suffering.

15.
It's not the men in my life that counts, it's the life in my men.
West, Mae

16.
A marriage is a series of friendships. Love serves as its underlying theme. Friendships provide it with the new challenges around which the relationship further develops. Each type of friendship with ones partner comes into being, rises to a peak of enthusiasm, and then wanes away in our cedar chest of sentimental values. Every once in a while we go to the chest and draw out a friendship item to give us a shot in the arm. Then we put it away till another day.

17.
The secret to a happy marriage is to tell your spouse everything, but the essentials.
Nelms, Cynthia

18.
A successful marriage is an edifice that must be rebuilt every day.
Andre Maurois

19.
Deceive not thyself by over-expecting happiness in the married estate. Remember the nightingales which sing only some months in the spring, but commonly are silent when they have hatched their eggs, as if their mirth were turned into care for their young ones.
Fuller, Thomas

20.
Before marriage a man yearns for a woman. Afterward the y is silent.
Clarke, W. A.

21.
Matrimony is the union of meanness and martyrdom.
Kraus, Karl

22.
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave himself up for her. [Ephesians 5:25]
Bible

23.
It takes two to make a marriage a success and only one to make it a failure.
Samuel, Herbert

24.
I'm going to marry a Jewish woman because I like the idea of getting up Sunday morning and going to the deli.
Fox, Michael J.

25.
I married beneath me. All women do.
Astor, Lady Nancy

26.
I have great hopes that we shall love each other all our lives as much as if we had never married at all.
Byron, Lord

27.
One of the best hearing aids a man can have is an attentive wife.
Marx, Groucho

28.
There's nothing like a Catholic wedding to make you wish life had a fast forward button.
Chopin, Daniel

29.
I first learned the concepts of non-violence in my marriage.
Gandhi, Mahatma

30.
He believes that marriage and a career don't mix. So after the wedding he plans to quit his job.

31.
After marriage, a woman's sight becomes so keen that she can see right through her husband without looking at him, and a man's so dull that he can look right through his wife without seeing her.
Rowland, Helen

32.
Every marriage tends to consist of an aristocrat and a peasant. Of a teacher and a learner.
Updike, John

33.
The mere idea of marriage, as a strong possibility, if not always nowadays a reasonable likelihood, existing to weaken the will by distracting its straight aim in the life of practically every young girl, is the simple secret of their confessed inferiority in men's pursuits and professions to-day.
Bolitho, William

34.
Wasn't marriage, like life, unstimulating and unprofitable and somewhat empty when too well ordered and protected and guarded? Wasn't it finer, more splendid, more nourishing, when it was, like life itself, a mixture of the sordid and the magnificent; of mud and stars; of earth and flowers; of love and hate and laughter and tears and ugliness and beauty and hurt?
Ferber, Edna

35.
Try praising your wife, even if it does frighten her at first.
Sunday, Billy

36.
Marriage should be a duet -- when one sings, the other claps. Joe Murray The only way to make a man trustworthy is to trust him.
Stimson, Henry Lewis

37.
The dread of loneliness is greater than the fear of bondage, so we get married.
Connolly, Cyril

38.
When the blind lead the blind, no wonder they both fall into -- matrimony.
Farquhar, George

39.
Any man who married for money and got it. Earned it.

40.
Only one marriage I regret. I remember after I got that marriage license I went across from the license bureau to a bar for a drink. The bartender said, What will you have, sir? And I said, A glass of hemlock.
Hemingway, Ernest

41.
I'd marry again if I found a man who had 15 million and would sign over half of it to me before the marriage and guarantee he'd be dead within a year.
Davis, Bette

42.
The problem with marriage is that it ends every night after making love, and it must be rebuilt every morning before breakfast.
Marquez, Gabriel Garcia

43.
I never married because there was no need. I have three pets at home which answer the same purpose as a husband. I have a dog which growls every morning, a parrot which swears all afternoon and a cat that comes home late at night.
Corelli, Marie

44.
Always get married early in the morning. That way, if it doesn't work out, you haven't wasted a whole day.

When widows exclaim loudly against second marriages, I would always lay a wager that the man, if not the wedding day, is absolutely fixed on.
Fielding, Henry

49.
Marriage is an act of will that signifies and involves a mutual gift, which unites the spouses and binds them to their eventual souls, with whom they make up a sole family --a domestic church.
John Paul II

50.
The only thing that holds a marriage together is the husband being big enough to keep his mouth shut, to step back and see where his wife is wrong.
Bunker, Archie
