Best Quotes about Marriage
There's nothing like a Catholic wedding to make you wish life had a fast forward button.
Chopin, Daniel
Only as far as a man is happily married to himself is he fit for married life and family life in general.
Novalis
Matrimony is the union of meanness and martyrdom.
Kraus, Karl
Whatever you may look like, marry a man your own age -- as your beauty fades, so will his eyesight.
Diller, Phyllis
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
Marriage is socialism among two people.
Ehrenreich, Barbara
A marriage without conflicts is almost as inconceivable as a nation without crises.
Maurois, Andre
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
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
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
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
Any man who married for money and got it. Earned it.
Marrying to increase love is like gaming to become rich; alas, you only lose what little stock you had before.
Wycherley, William
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
In the perfect wedlock, the man, I should say, is the head, but the woman the heart, with which he cannot dispense.
Ruckett
When a husband is embraced without affection, there must be some reason for it.
Hitopadesa
I hate to be a failure. I hate and regret the failure of my marriages. I would gladly give all my millions for just one lasting marital success.
Getty, J. Paul
'Tis safest in matrimony to begin with a little aversion.
Sheridan, Richard Brinsley
Deceive not thyself by over-expecting happiness in the married estate. Remember the nightingales which sing only some months in the spring, but commonly are silent when they have hatched their eggs, as if their mirth were turned into care for their young ones.
Fuller, Thomas
Always get married early in the morning. That way, if it doesn't work out, you haven't wasted a whole day.
Mickey Rooney
All married couples should learn the art of battle as they should learn the art of making love. Good battle is objective and honest - never vicious or cruel. Good battle is healthy and constructive, and brings to a marriage the principle of equal partnership.
Ann Landers
A great marriage is not when the'perfect couple'comes together. It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.
Dave Meurer
Being married gives one one's position like nothing else can.
Victoria, Queen
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
You can never be happily married to another until you get a divorce from yourself. A successful marriage demands a certain death to self.
Mccant, Jerry
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
A simple enough pleasure, surely, to have breakfast alone with one's husband, but how seldom married people in the midst of life achieve it.
Anne Morrow Lindbergh
Marriage is low down, but you spend the rest of your life paying for it.
Baskins
The mere idea of marriage, as a strong possibility, if not always nowadays a reasonable likelihood, existing to weaken the will by distracting its straight aim in the life of practically every young girl, is the simple secret of their confessed inferiority in men's pursuits and professions to-day.
Bolitho, William
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
There is no more lovely, friendly, and charming relationship, communion, or company than a good marriage.
Luther, Martin
There is a time for all things -- except marriage my dear.
Chatterton, Thomas
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
A man in love is incomplete until he has married -- then he's finished.
Gabor, Zsa Zsa
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
Love is blind -- marriage is the eye-opener.
Thomason, Pauline
For it is mutual trust, even more than mutual interest that holds human associations together. Our friends seldom profit us but they make us feel safe. Marriage is a scheme to accomplish exactly that same end.
Mencken, H. L.
When you're a married man, Samivel, you'll understand a good many things as you don't understand now; but whether it's worth while, going through so much, to learn so little, as the charity-boy said when he got to the end of the alphabet, is a matter o taste.
Dickens, Charles
Marriage is the miracle that transforms a kiss from a pleasure into a duty.
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
All married couples should learn the art of battle as they should learn the art of making love. Good battle is objective and honest --never vicious or cruel. Good battle is healthy and constructive, and brings to a marriage the principle of equal partnership.
Landers, Ann
One of society's biggest problems today is that we've allowed relationships to be accepted as impermanent, particularly marriage.
Marrying a man is like buying something you've been admiring for a long time in a shop window. You may love it when you get it home, but it doesn't always go with everything else in the house.
Kerr, Jean
Intimacy is what makes a marriage, not a ceremony, not a piece of paper from the state.
Kathleen Norris
If a man works like a horse for his money, there are a lot of girls anxious to take him down the bridal path.
Allen, Marty
Many a man in love with a dimple makes the mistake of marrying the whole girl.
Leacock, Stephen B.
Grief walks upon the heels of pleasure; married in haste, we repent at leisure.
Congreve, William
The sum and substance of female education in America, as in England, is training women to consider marriage as the sole object in life, and to pretend that they do not think so.
Martineau, Harriet
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
Wasn't marriage, like life, unstimulating and unprofitable and somewhat empty when too well ordered and protected and guarded? Wasn't it finer, more splendid, more nourishing, when it was, like life itself, a mixture of the sordid and the magnificent; of mud and stars; of earth and flowers; of love and hate and laughter and tears and ugliness and beauty and hurt?
Ferber, Edna
