- Rowland, Helen
Marriage Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Marriage

1.
Marriages are made in heaven and consummated on Earth.
Lyly, John

2.
Those that marry for money sell their liberty.
Proverb

3.
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

4.
Marriage is socialism among two people.
Ehrenreich, Barbara

5.
I'm certain that most couples expect to find intimacy in marriage, but it somehow eludes them.
Dobson, Dr. James C.

6.
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

7.
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

8.
Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, and half-shut afterwards.
Franklin, Benjamin

9.
Though women are angels, yet wedlock's the devil.
Byron, Lord

10.
Often the difference between a successful marriage and a mediocre one consists of leaving about three or four things a day unsaid.
Miller, Harlan

11.
The man who says his wife can't take a joke forgets that she took him.

12.
The pretentiously -- named ensuite bathroom is a major factor in divorce. Privacy is paramount in marriage.

13.
A marriage is a series of friendships. Love serves as its underlying theme. Friendships provide it with the new challenges around which the relationship further develops. Each type of friendship with ones partner comes into being, rises to a peak of enthusiasm, and then wanes away in our cedar chest of sentimental values. Every once in a while we go to the chest and draw out a friendship item to give us a shot in the arm. Then we put it away till another day.

14.
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

15.
Any one must see at a glance that if men and women marry those whom they do not love, they must love those whom they do not marry.
Martineau, Harriet

16.
Always get married in the morning. That way if it doesn't work out, you haven't wasted the whole day.
Rooney, Mickey

17.
If there be no great love in the beginning, yet heaven may decrease it upon better acquaintance, when we are married and have more occasion to know one another...upon familiarity will grow more contempt.
William Shakespeare

18.
Though we marry as adults, we don't marry adults. We marry children who have grown up and still rejoice in being children, especially if we're creative.
Diane Ackerman

19.
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

20.
Before marriage, a man will go home and lie awake all night thinking about something you said; after marriage, he'll go to sleep before you finish saying it.
Rowland, Helen

21.
Love, the strongest and deepest element in all life, the harbinger of hope, of joy, of ecstasy; love, the defier of all laws, of all conventions; love, the freest, the most powerful molder of human destiny; how can such an all-compelling force be synonymous with that poor little State and Church-begotten weed, marriage?
Goldman, Emma

22.
Be to their virtue very kind; be to their faults a little blind.
Prior, Matthew

23.
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

24.
A good marriage is like a casserole, only those responsible for it really know what goes in it.

25.
There is nothing nobler or more admirable than when two people who see eye to eye keep house as man and wife, confounding their enemies and delighting their friends.
Homer

26.
Where there is marriage without love, there will be love without marriage.
Franklin, Benjamin

27.
Whether a fellow winds up with a nest egg or a goose egg depends a heap on the kind of chick he married.

28.
Nature admits of no permanence in the relation between man and woman. It is only man's egoism that wants to keep woman like some buried treasure. All endeavors to introduce permanence in love, the most changeable thing in this changeable human existence, have gone shipwreck in spite of religious ceremonies, vows, and legalities.
Sacher-Masoch, Leopold Von

29.
Always get married early in the morning. That way, if it doesn't work out, you haven't wasted a whole day.
Mickey Rooney

30.
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

31.
The bonds of matrimony are like any other bonds -- they mature slowly.
Vries, Peter De

32.
In Hollywood all the marriages are happy, it's trying to live together afterwards that causes all the problems.
Winters, Shelley

33.
The secret to a happy marriage is to tell your spouse everything, but the essentials.
Nelms, Cynthia

34.
Love is blind -- marriage is the eye-opener.
Thomason, Pauline

35.
Marriage is the torment of one, the felicity of two, the strife and enmity of three.
Irving, Washington

36.
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

37.
She is a wife who is the soul of her husband.
Hitopadesa

38.
I don't worry about terrorism. I was married for two years.
Kinison, Sam

39.
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

40.
I would rather be a beggar and single than a queen and married.
Elizabeth I

41.
Marriage is the operation by which a woman's vanity and a man's egotism are extracted without an anaesthetic.
Rowland, Helen

42.
Grief walks upon the heels of pleasure; married in haste, we repent at leisure.
Congreve, William

43.
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

44.
Marital Freedom: The liberty that allows a husband to do exactly that which his wife pleases.

45.
The world has suffered more from the ravages of ill-advised marriages than from virginity.
Bierce, Ambrose

46.
Marriage isn't a word... it's a sentence.

47.
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

48.
This would be a much better world if more married couples were as deeply in love as they are in debt.
Wilson, Earl

49.
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

50.
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.
