Best Quotes about Marriage
The real act of marriage takes place in the heart, not in the ballroom or church or synagogue. It's a choice you make -- not just on your wedding day, but over and over again -- and that choice is reflected in the way you treat your husband or wife.
Angelis, Barbara De
Before marriage a man yearns for a woman. Afterward the y is silent.
Clarke, W. A.
I'd marry again if I found a man who had 15 million and would sign over half of it to me before the marriage and guarantee he'd be dead within a year.
Davis, Bette
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
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
Marriage is like wine. It is not properly judged until the second glass.
Jerrold, Douglas William
A good marriage is one which allows for change and growth in the individuals and in the way they express their love.
Pearl Buck
I was so cold the other day, I almost got married.
Winters, Shelley
Marriage is the operation by which a woman's vanity and a man's egotism are extracted without an anaesthetic.
Rowland, Helen
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
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
Marriage is neither heaven nor hell, it is simply purgatory.
Lincoln, Abraham
Choose your wife as you wish your children to be.
Proverb
One man's folly is another man's wife.
Helen Rowland
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 world has suffered more from the ravages of ill-advised marriages than from virginity.
Bierce, Ambrose
If you would have a good wife, marry one who has been a good daughter.
Fuller, Thomas
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
Remember, that if thou marry for beauty, thou bindest thyself all thy life for that which perchance will neither last nor please thee one year; and when thou hast it, it will be to thee of no price at all; for the desire dieth when it is attained, and the affection perisheth when it is satisfied.
Sir Walter Raleigh
I would rather be a beggar and single than a queen and married.
Elizabeth I
That married couples can live together day after day is a miracle the Vatican has overlooked.
Cosby, Bill
When you get married you forget about kissing other women.
Boone, Pat
So that ends my first experience of matrimony, which I always thought a highly over-rated performance.
Duncan, Isadora
I'm certain that most couples expect to find intimacy in marriage, but it somehow eludes them.
Dobson, Dr. James C.
In Hollywood a marriage is a success if it outlasts milk.
Rita Rudner
I have wedded her, not bedded her; and sworn to make the'not'eternal.
William Shakespeare
In marriage do thou be wise; prefer the person before money; virtue before beauty; the mind before the body.
Penn, William
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
When two people marry they become in the eyes of the law one person, and that one person is the husband!
Alexander, Shana
Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, and half-shut afterwards.
Franklin, Benjamin
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
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
My wife isn't married to me forever; she's married to me for good. That keeps me on my toes.
Pancoast, Mal
If you would marry suitably, marry your equal.
Ovid

Lennon, John
The bonds of matrimony are like any other bonds -- they mature slowly.
Vries, Peter De
Marriage is our last, best chance to grow up.
Barth, Joseph

Proverb, Yiddish
Marriage is a great institution, but I'm not ready for an institution yet.
Mae West
I will fasten on this sleeve of thine: thou art an elm, my husband, I a vine.
William Shakespeare

Hesiod
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
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
Let the wife make the husband glad to come home, and let him make her sorry to see him leave.
Luther, Martin
Marriage is the sunset of love.
Proverb, French
Successful marriage is always a triangle: a man, a woman, and God.
Myers, Cecil
Marriage is the miracle that transforms a kiss from a pleasure into a duty.
Rowland, Helen
