Motivational Quotes
Marriage
Such is the common process of marriage. A youth and maiden exchange meeting by chance, or brought together by artifice, exchange glances, reciprocate civilities, go home, and dream of one another. Having little to divert attention, or diversify thought, they find themselves uneasy when they are apart, and therefore conclude that they shall be happy together. They marry, and discover what nothing but voluntary blindness had before concealed; they wear out life in altercations, and charge nature with cruelty.

Best Quotes about Marriage
When a girl marries, she exchanges the attentions of all the other men of her acquaintance for the inattention of just one.
Rowland, Helen
In almost every marriage there is a selfish and an unselfish partner. A pattern is set up and soon becomes inflexible, of one person always making the demands and one person always giving way.
Murdoch, Iris
Why does a woman work ten years to change a man's habits and then complain that he's not the man she married?
Streisand, Barbara
There's a way of transferring funds that is even faster than electronic banking. It's called marriage.
Mcgannon, Donald H.
Though women are angels, yet wedlock's the devil.
Byron, Lord
To many women marriage is only this. It is merely a physical change impinging on their ordinary nature, leaving their mentality untouched, their self-possession intact. They are not burnt by even the red fire of physical passion - far less by the white fire of love.
Webb, Mary
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.
Candice Bergen
I will fasten on this sleeve of thine: thou art an elm, my husband, I a vine.
William Shakespeare
Marriage must be a relation either of sympathy or of conquest.
Eliot, George
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
Marriage as an institution developed from rape as a practice. Rape, originally defined as abduction, became marriage by capture. Marriage meant the taking was to extend in time, to be not only use of but possession of, or ownership.
Dworkin, Andrea
In marriage there are no manners to keep up, and beneath the wildest accusations no real criticism. Each is familiar with that ancient child in the other who may erupt again. We are not ridiculous to ourselves. We are ageless. That is the luxury of the wedding ring.
Bagnold, Enid
God invented concubinage, Satan marriage.
Picabia, Francis
Marrying is easy, it's housework that's hard.
Proverb
If variety is the spice of life, marriage is the big can of leftover Spam.
Carson, Johnny
Except for poverty, incompatibility, opposition of parents, absence of love on one side and of desire to marry on both, nothing stands in the way of our happy union.
Connolly, Cyril
To marry is to halve your rights and double your duties.
Schopenhauer, Arthur
Whether a fellow winds up with a nest egg or a goose egg depends a heap on the kind of chick he married.
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
It takes two to make a marriage a success and only one to make it a failure.
Samuel, Herbert
Well married a person has wings, poorly married shackles.
Beecher, Henry Ward
Marriage is the death of hope.
Allen, Woody
Polygamy is an endeavor to get more out of life than there is in it.
Hubbard, Elbert
A marriage is no amusement but a solemn act, and generally a sad one.
Victoria, Queen
Saw a wedding in the church. It was strange to see what delight we married people have to see these poor fools decoyed into our condition.
Pepys, Samuel
Marriage is a lottery, but you can't tear up your ticket if you lose.
Knowles, F. M.
Marriage is an adventure, like going to war.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.
If you would have a good wife, marry one who has been a good daughter.
Fuller, Thomas
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
You'll repent if you marry, and repent if you don't.
Proverb
Marriage, for a woman at least, hampers the two things that made life to me glorious -- friendship and learning.
Harrison, Jane
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
Marriage is the miracle that transforms a kiss from a pleasure into a duty.
Rowland, Helen
Marrying into money was not a good thing for me.
Smith, Anna Nicole
The bonds of matrimony are like any other bonds -- they mature slowly.
Vries, Peter De
Many a man in love with a dimple makes the mistake of marrying the whole girl.
Leacock, Stephen B.
When a match has equal partners then I fear not.
Aeschylus
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
If there was strife and contention in the home, very little else in life could compensate for it.
Lawana Blackwell
I've been married three times -- and each time I married the right person.
Mead, Margaret
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
My marriage had its ups and downs like anyone's, but when it came down to it, I knew it was solid. I miss that sort of security, and that sort of connection with someone.
John Scalzi
My wife and I were happy for twenty. Then we met!
Dangerfield, Rodney
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.
Alan Patrick Herbert
The value of marriage is not that adults produce children, but that children produce adults.
Vries, Peter De
Instead of getting married again. I'm going to find a woman I don't like and give her a house.
Grizzard, Lewis
Marriage, it seems, confines every man to his proper rank.
Bruyere, Jean De La
Love and marriage, love and marriage go together like a horse and carriage. Dad was told by mother. You can't have one without the other.
Cahn, Sammy
Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, and half-shut afterwards.
Franklin, Benjamin
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
