Marriage Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Marriage

1.
A good marriage is one which allows for change and growth in the individuals and in the way they express their love.
Pearl Buck

2.
O curse of marriage, that we can call these delicate creatures ours, and not their appetites.
William Shakespeare

3.
A man will teach his wife what is needed to arouse his desires. And there is no reason for a woman to know any more than what her husband is prepared to teach her. If she gets married knowing far too much about what she wants and doesn't want then she will be ready to find fault with her husband.
Cartland, Barbara

4.
To marry is to halve your rights and double your duties.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

5.
To be sure a stepmother to a girl is a different thing to a second wife to a man!
Gaskell, Elizabeth

6.
By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.
Socrates

7.
Nearly all marriages, even happy ones, are mistakes: in the sense that almost certainly (in a more perfect world, or even with a little more care in this very imperfect one) both partners might be found more suitable mates. But the real soul-mate is the one you are actually married to.
J. R. R. Tolkien

8.
There's nothing like a Catholic wedding to make you wish life had a fast forward button.
Chopin, Daniel

9.
Where there is marriage without love, there will be love without marriage.
Franklin, Benjamin

10.
Any man who married for money and got it. Earned it.

11.
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

12.
A good marriage is like a casserole, only those responsible for it really know what goes in it.

13.
Never marry a man who hates his mother, because he'll end up hating you.
Bennett, Jill

14.
I think people really marry far too much; it is such a lottery after all, and for a poor woman a very doubtful happiness.
Victoria, Queen

15.
Rituals are important. Nowadays it's hip not to be married. I'm not interested in being hip.
Lennon, John

16.
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

17.
Therefore shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. [Genesis 2:24]
Bible

18.
Marriage is the miracle that transforms a kiss from a pleasure into a duty.
Rowland, Helen

19.
Two souls and one thought, two hearts and one pulse.
Halen

20.
Marriage is the best state for man in general, and every man is a worst man in proportion to the level he is unfit for marriage.
Johnson, Samuel

21.
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

22.
There is only one thing for a man to do who is married to a woman who enjoys spending money, and that is enjoy earning it.
Nash, Ogden

23.
In the perfect wedlock, the man, I should say, is the head, but the woman the heart, with which he cannot dispense.
Ruckett

24.
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

25.
Marriage. The state or condition of a community consisting of a master, a mistress and two slaves, making in all, two.
Bierce, Ambrose

26.
By all means marry. If you get a good wife you will become happy, and if you get a bad one you will become a philosopher.
Socrates

27.
The value of marriage is not that adults produce children, but that children produce adults.
Vries, Peter De

28.
I'm certain that most couples expect to find intimacy in marriage, but it somehow eludes them.
Dobson, Dr. James C.

29.
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

30.
Every time a woman makes herself laugh at her husband's often-told jokes she betrays him. The man who looks at his woman and says What would I do without you? is already destroyed.
Greer, Germaine

31.
One man's folly is another man's wife.
Helen Rowland

32.
It's not the men in my life that counts, it's the life in my men.
West, Mae

33.
Only as far as a man is happily married to himself is he fit for married life and family life in general.
Novalis

34.
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

35.
If you wish to marry suitably, marry your equal.
Ovid

36.
So that ends my first experience of matrimony, which I always thought a highly over-rated performance.
Duncan, Isadora

37.
The betrothed and accepted lover has lost the wildest charms of his maiden by her acceptance. She was heaven while he pursued her, but she cannot be heaven if she stoops to one such as he!
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

38.
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

39.
Marriage is the torment of one, the felicity of two, the strife and enmity of three.
Irving, Washington

40.
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

41.
When a match has equal partners then I fear not.
Aeschylus

42.
There is no observation more frequently made by such as employ themselves in surveying the conduct of mankind, than that marriage, though the dictate of nature, and the institution of Providence, is yet very often the cause of misery, and that those who enter into that state can seldom forbear to express their repentance, and their envy of those whom either chance or caution hath withheld from it.
Samuel Johnson

43.
Love is blind -- marriage is the eye-opener.
Thomason, Pauline

44.
Married couples resemble a pair of scissors, often moving in opposite directions, yet punishing anyone who gets in between them.
Smith, Sydney

45.
It takes two to make a marriage a success and only one to make it a failure.
Samuel, Herbert

46.
Sensual pleasures have the fleeting brilliance of a comet; a happy marriage has the tranquillity of a lovely sunset.
Landers, Ann

47.
The deep, deep peace of the double-bed after the hurly-burly of the chaise-lounge.
Campbell, Mrs Patrick

48.
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

49.
To marry unequally is to suffer equally.
Amiel, Henri Frederic

50.
The world must be peopled. When I said I would die a bachelor, I did not think I should live till I were married.
Shakespeare, William
