Motivational Quotes
Marriage
I used to believe that marriage would diminish me, reduce my options. That you had to be someone less to live with someone else when, of course, you have to be someone more.

Best Quotes about Marriage
I have come to the conclusion never again to think of marrying, and for this reason, I can never be satisfied with anyone who would be blockhead enough to have me.
Lincoln, Abraham
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
My wife isn't married to me forever; she's married to me for good. That keeps me on my toes.
Pancoast, Mal
Marriage: A ceremony in which rings are put on the finger of the lady and through the nose of the gentleman.
Spencer, Herbert
An undutiful daughter will prove an unmanageable wife.
Franklin, Benjamin
It is obvious that all sense has gone out of modern marriage: which is, however, no objection to marriage but to modernity.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
Marriage is neither heaven nor hell, it is simply purgatory.
Lincoln, Abraham
Whether a fellow winds up with a nest egg or a goose egg depends a heap on the kind of chick he married.
The secret to a happy marriage is to tell your spouse everything, but the essentials.
Nelms, Cynthia
Each coming together of man and wife, even if they have been mated for many years, should be a fresh adventure; each winning should necessitate a fresh wooing.
Stopes, Marie Carmichael
My wife and I were happy for twenty. Then we met!
Dangerfield, Rodney
Dude, marriage is the'get out of loneliness free'card in the Monopoly game of life.
Veronica Pare and Ferrett Steinmetz
Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ also loved the church and gave himself up for her. [Ephesians 5:25]
Bible
I am thinking of taking a fifth wife. Why not? Solomon had a thousand wives and he is a synonym for wisdom.
Barrymore, John
If I ever marry it will be on a sudden impulse, as a man shoots himself.
Mencken, H. L.
If you would marry suitably, marry your equal.
Ovid
Men marry to make an end; women to make a beginning.
Dupuy, Alexis
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
Married couples resemble a pair of scissors, often moving in opposite directions, yet punishing anyone who gets in between them.
Smith, Sydney
I've been married so long, I am on my third bottle of Tabasco sauce.
Vass, Susan
Marrying into money was not a good thing for me.
Smith, Anna Nicole
Let the wife make the husband glad to come home, and let him make her sorry to see him leave.
Luther, Martin
Your marriage moves toward a state of isolation. Unless you lovingly and energetically nurture your marriage, you will begin to drift away from your mate.
Rainey, Dennis
I tended to place my wife under a pedestal.
Woody Allen
I think like any marriage, especially when you've had divorced parents like myself, you'd want to try even harder to make it work.
Diana, Princess of Wales
I've been married three times -- and each time I married the right person.
Mead, Margaret
That a marriage ends is less than ideal; but all things end under heaven, and if temporality is held to be invalidating, then nothing real succeeds.
Updike, John
The world has suffered more from the ravages of ill-advised marriages than from virginity.
Bierce, Ambrose
Intimacy is what makes a marriage, not a ceremony, not a piece of paper from the state.
Kathleen Norris
Marrying a man is like buying something you've been admiring for a long time in a shop window. You may love it when you get it home, but it doesn't always go with everything else in the house.
Kerr, Jean
I will fasten on this sleeve of thine: thou art an elm, my husband, I a vine.
William Shakespeare
Marriage always demands the greatest understanding of the art of insincerity possible between two human beings.
Baum, Vicki
The sum and substance of female education in America, as in England, is training women to consider marriage as the sole object in life, and to pretend that they do not think so.
Martineau, Harriet
A happy marriage perhaps represents the ideal of human relationship -- a setting in which each partner, while acknowledging the need of the other, feels free to be what he or she by nature is: a relationship in which instinct as well as intellect can find expression; in which giving and taking are equal; in which each accepts the other, and I confronts Thou.
Storr, Anthony
I first learned the concepts of non-violence in my marriage.
Gandhi, Mahatma
I think men who have a pierced ear are better prepared for marriage. They've experienced pain and bought jewelry.
Rudner, Rita
If you would have a good wife, marry one who has been a good daughter.
Fuller, Thomas
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
Our marriage is like anybody's marriage, It goes through ups and downs. It's a little garden that you have to tend all the time. When we're home, it's not like we walk around all dolled up going, We are celebrities! We are famous! I change diapers. I clean up dog doo.
Willis, Bruce
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
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
A successful marriage is an edifice that must be rebuilt every day.
Andre Maurois
Whatever you may look like, marry a man your own age -- as your beauty fades, so will his eyesight.
Diller, Phyllis
Marriage is a three ring circus: engagement ring, wedding ring, and suffering.
Love is blind and marriage is the institution for the blind.
Graham, James
No man was ever shot by his wife while doing the dishes.
When I meet a man I ask myself,'Is this the man I want my children to spend their weekends with?'
Rita Rudner
Marriage is not a noun; it's a verb. It isn't something you get. It's something you do. It's the way you love your partner every day.
Angelis, Barbara De
O curse of marriage, that we can call these delicate creatures ours, and not their appetites.
William Shakespeare
Choose your wife as you wish your children to be.
