Best Quotes about Marriage

When you get married you forget about kissing other women.

Boone, Pat

A marriage based on full confidence, based on complete and unqualified frankness on both sides; they are not keeping anything back; there's no deception underneath it all. If I might so put it, it's an agreement for the mutual forgiveness of sin.

Ibsen, Henrik

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

Irving, Washington

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

West, Mae

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

William Shakespeare

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

I am thinking of taking a fifth wife. Why not? Solomon had a thousand wives and he is a synonym for wisdom.

Barrymore, John

When a man is ready to marry, he is often not too particular about the lady.

Eucharista Ward

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.

A man in love is incomplete until he has married -- then he's finished.

Gabor, Zsa Zsa

15.

Men marry to make an end; women to make a beginning.

Dupuy, Alexis

16.

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

Dobson, Dr. James C.

17.

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

18.

Marriage is like wine. It is not properly judged until the second glass.

Jerrold, Douglas William

19.

You get married at twenty, you're going to be shocked who you're living with at thirty.

Peter Blake

20.

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

21.

Being married gives one one's position like nothing else can.

Victoria, Queen

22.

I tended to place my wife under a pedestal.

Woody Allen

23.

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

24.

Marriage is a matter of give and take, but so far I haven't been able to find anybody who'll take what I have to give.

Daley, Cass

25.

I will fasten on this sleeve of thine: thou art an elm, my husband, I a vine.

William Shakespeare

26.

A good marriage is at least 80 percent good luck in finding the right person at the right time. The rest is trust.

Newman, Nanette

27.

Where there is marriage without love, there will be love without marriage.

Franklin, Benjamin

28.

Love is blind -- marriage is the eye-opener.

Thomason, Pauline

29.

For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven. [Matthew 22:30]

Bible

30.

In taking out an insurance policy one pays for it in dollars and cents, always at liberty to discontinue payments. If, however, woman's premium is a husband, she pays for it with her name, her privacy, her self-respect, her very life, until death doth part.

Goldman, Emma

31.

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

32.

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

33.

Marriage is our last, best chance to grow up.

Barth, Joseph

William Shakespeare

Marquez, Gabriel Garcia
