Motivational Quotes
Marriage
The marriage state, with and without the affection suitable to it, is the completest image of Heaven and Hell we are capable of receiving in this life.

Best Quotes about Marriage
We love in others what we lack in ourselves, and would be everything, but what we are.
Stoddard, Richard Henry
Marriages are made in heaven and consummated on Earth.
Lyly, John
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
Once you are married, there is nothing for you, not even suicide, but to be good.
Stevenson, Robert Louis
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
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
Marriage. It's like a cultural hand-rail. It links folks to the past and guides them to the future.
Diane Frolov and Andrew Schneider
In marriage do thou be wise; prefer the person before money; virtue before beauty; the mind before the body.
Penn, William
Progress of a marriage: There was a time when you couldn't make me happy. Now the time has come when you can make me unhappy.
Layton, Irving
Husbands, in the same way be considerate as you live with your wives, and treat them with respect as the weaker partner and as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life, so that nothing will hinder your prayers. [1 Peter 3:7]
Bible
Any man who married for money and got it. Earned it.
So that ends my first experience of matrimony, which I always thought a highly over-rated performance.
Duncan, Isadora
Quarrels are the dowry which married folk bring one another.
Ovid
I tended to place my wife under a pedestal.
Woody Allen
I have great hopes that we shall love each other all our lives as much as if we had never married at all.
Byron, Lord
If variety is the spice of life, marriage is the big can of leftover Spam.
Carson, Johnny
The world has suffered more from the ravages of ill-advised marriages than from virginity.
Bierce, Ambrose
Three things drive a man outdoors; smoke, a leaking roof and a scolding wife.
Proverb
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.
Nash, Ogden
Plant and your spouse plants with you; weed and you weed alone.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques
I'm certain that most couples expect to find intimacy in marriage, but it somehow eludes them.
Dobson, Dr. James C.
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
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
Whenever a husband and wife begin to discuss their marriage they are giving evidence at a coroner's inquest.
Mencken, H. L.
I've sometimes thought of marrying, and then I've thought again.
Coward, Noel
A successful marriage is an edifice that must be rebuilt every day.
Andre Maurois
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
If you would have a good wife, marry one who has been a good daughter.
Fuller, Thomas
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
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
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
Successful marriage is always a triangle: a man, a woman, and God.
Myers, Cecil
She is a wife who is the soul of her husband.
Hitopadesa
We were happily married for eight months. Unfortunately, we were married for four and a half years.
Nick Faldo
Though I want a kingdom, yet in marriage I may not prove inferior to yourself.
William Shakespeare
Many a man in love with a dimple makes the mistake of marrying the whole girl.
Leacock, Stephen B.
Man's best possession is a sympathetic wife.
Euripides
Those that marry for money sell their liberty.
Proverb
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
Let the wife make the husband glad to come home, and let him make her sorry to see him leave.
Luther, Martin
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
In the perfect wedlock, the man, I should say, is the head, but the woman the heart, with which he cannot dispense.
Ruckett
There's nothing like a Catholic wedding to make you wish life had a fast forward button.
Chopin, Daniel
God invented concubinage, Satan marriage.
Picabia, Francis
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
Like everything which is not the involuntary result of fleeting emotion but the creation of time and will, any marriage, happy or unhappy, is infinitely more interesting than any romance, however passionate.
Auden, W. H.
If you wish to marry suitably, marry your equal.
Ovid
No man was ever shot by his wife while doing the dishes.
What is right for one couple is wrong for another. I would say that there are many more important factors to a happy marriage.
Elizabeth Aston
Compromise: An amiable arrangement between husband and wife whereby they agree to let her have her own way.
