Motivational Quotes
Marriage
The conception of two people living together for twenty-five years without having a cross word suggests a lack of spirit only to be admired in sheep.

Best Quotes about Marriage
Long engagements give people the opportunity of finding out each other's character before marriage, which is never advisable.
Wilde, Oscar
A little weeping, a little wheedling, a little self-degradation, a little careful use of our advantages, and then some man will say .Come, be my wife! With good looks and youth marriage is easy to attain. There are men enough; but a woman who has sold herself, even for a ring and a new name, need hold her skirt aside for no creature in the street. They both earn their bread in one way. Marriage for love is the most beautiful external symbol of the union of souls; marriage without it is the least clean traffic that defiles the world.
Schreiner, Olive
The curse which lies upon marriage is that too often the individuals are joined in their weakness rather than in their strength --each asking from the other instead of finding pleasure in giving. It is even more deceptive to dream of gaining through the child a plenitude, a warmth, a value, which one is unable to create for oneself; the child brings joy only to the woman who is capable of disinterestedly desiring the happiness of another, to one who without being wrapped up in self seeks to transcend her own existence.
Beauvoir, Simone De
The difficulty with marriage is that we fall in love with a personality, but must live with a character.
Vries, Peter De
A marriage without conflicts is almost as inconceivable as a nation without crises.
Maurois, Andre
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
Successful marriage is always a triangle: a man, a woman, and God.
Myers, Cecil
Plant and your spouse plants with you; weed and you weed alone.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques
To be sure a stepmother to a girl is a different thing to a second wife to a man!
Gaskell, Elizabeth
Men marry to make an end; women to make a beginning.
Dupuy, Alexis
Marriage is like a cage; one sees the birds outside desperate to get in, and those inside desperate to get out.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
Marriage always demands the greatest understanding of the art of insincerity possible between two human beings.
Baum, Vicki
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
My whole working philosophy is that the only stable happiness for mankind is that it shall live married in blessed union to woman-kind --intimacy, physical and psychical between a man and his wife. I wish to add that my state of bliss is by no means perfect.
Lawrence, D. H.
The man who says his wife can't take a joke forgets that she took him.
Marriage is the operation by which a woman's vanity and a man's egotism are extracted without an anaesthetic.
Rowland, Helen
Marriage is the torment of one, the felicity of two, the strife and enmity of three.
Irving, Washington
Marriage is a mistake every man should make.
Jessel, George
A simple enough pleasure, surely, to have breakfast alone with one's husband, but how seldom married people in the midst of life achieve it.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
God invented concubinage, Satan marriage.
Picabia, Francis
When two people marry they become in the eyes of the law one person, and that one person is the husband!
Alexander, Shana
Marriage should be a duet-when one sings, the other claps.
Murray, Joe
It is easier to be a lover than a husband for the simple reason that it is more difficult to be witty every day than to say pretty things from time to time.
Balzac, Honore De
Rituals are important. Nowadays it's hip not to be married. I'm not interested in being hip.
Lennon, John
If you wish to marry suitably, marry your equal.
Ovid
Always get married in the morning. That way if it doesn't work out, you haven't wasted the whole day.
Rooney, Mickey
When the blind lead the blind, no wonder they both fall into -- matrimony.
Farquhar, George
Marriage is the death of hope.
Allen, Woody
Two such as you with such a master speed cannot be parted nor be swept away from one another once you are agreed that life is only life forevermore together wing to wing and oar to oar.
Frost, Robert
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
Weeping bride, laughing wife, laughing bride, weeping wife.
Proverb, German
It ought to be illegal for an artist to marry. If the artist must marry let him find someone more interested in art, or his art, or the artist part of him, than in him. After which let them take tea together three times a week.
Pound, Ezra
Any man who married for money and got it. Earned it.
The secret to a happy marriage is to tell your spouse everything, but the essentials.
Nelms, Cynthia
It resembles a pair of shears, so joined that they cannot be separated, often moving in opposite directions, yet always punishing anyone who comes between them.
Smith, Sydney
It doesn't much signify whom one marries, for one is sure to find out the next morning that it was someone else.
Rogers, Will
I'm certain that most couples expect to find intimacy in marriage, but it somehow eludes them.
Dobson, Dr. James C.
On the whole, the great success of marriage in the States is due partly to the fact that no American man is ever idle, and partly to the fact that no American wife is considered responsible for the quality of her husband's dinners.
Wilde, Oscar
Marriage is like a besieged castle; those who are on the outside wish to get in; and those who are on the inside wish to get out.
Proverb, Arabian
Nature admits of no permanence in the relation between man and woman. It is only man's egoism that wants to keep woman like some buried treasure. All endeavors to introduce permanence in love, the most changeable thing in this changeable human existence, have gone shipwreck in spite of religious ceremonies, vows, and legalities.
Sacher-Masoch, Leopold Von
Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, and half-shut afterwards.
Franklin, Benjamin
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
I never knew what real happiness was until I got married and by then it was too late.
Kauffman, Max
A good marriage is one which allows for change and growth in the individuals and in the way they express their love.
Pearl Buck
All married couples should learn the art of battle as they should learn the art of making love. Good battle is objective and honest --never vicious or cruel. Good battle is healthy and constructive, and brings to a marriage the principle of equal partnership.
Landers, Ann
You, that are going to be married, think things can never be done too fast: but we that are old, and know what we are about, must elope methodically, madam.
Goldsmith, Oliver
So that ends my first experience of matrimony, which I always thought a highly over-rated performance.
Duncan, Isadora
Happiness just wasn't part of the job description back then. You tried to find a helpmate to keep the cold wind and dogs at bay. Happiness just wasn't part of the equation. Survival was.
Robin Green
Every marriage tends to consist of an aristocrat and a peasant. Of a teacher and a learner.
Updike, John
Love is moral even without legal marriage, but marriage is immoral without love.
Key, Ellen
