Marriage Motivational Quotes



Best Quotes about Marriage

1.
In marriage do thou be wise; prefer the person before money; virtue before beauty; the mind before the body.
Penn, William

2.
Though women are angels, yet wedlock's the devil.
Byron, Lord

3.
The bonds of matrimony are like any other bonds -- they mature slowly.
Vries, Peter De

4.
Americans, who make more of marrying for love than any other people, also break up more or their marriages, but the figure reflects not so much the failure of love as the determination not to live without it.
Hunt, Morton

5.
The difficulty with marriage is that we fall in love with a personality, but must live with a character.
Vries, Peter De

6.
After seven years of marriage, I'm sure of two things -- first, never wallpaper together, and second, you'll need two bathrooms.. both for her. The rest is a mystery, but a mystery I love to be involved in.
Miller, Dennis

7.
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

8.
In our monogamous part of the world, to marry means to halve one's rights and double one's duties.
Schopenhauer, Arthur

9.
A good marriage is like a casserole, only those responsible for it really know what goes in it.

10.
Every time a woman makes herself laugh at her husband's often-told jokes she betrays him. The man who looks at his woman and says What would I do without you? is already destroyed.
Greer, Germaine

11.
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

12.
Sensual pleasures have the fleeting brilliance of a comet; a happy marriage has the tranquillity of a lovely sunset.
Landers, Ann

13.
A man in love is incomplete until he has married -- then he's finished.
Gabor, Zsa Zsa

14.
The value of marriage is not that adults produce children, but that children produce adults.
Vries, Peter De

15.
I am thinking of taking a fifth wife. Why not? Solomon had a thousand wives and he is a synonym for wisdom.
Barrymore, John

16.
When I meet a man I ask myself,'Is this the man I want my children to spend their weekends with?'
Rita Rudner

17.
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

18.
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

19.
Marriage is a great institution, but I'm not ready for an institution yet.
Mae West

20.
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

21.
Try praising your wife, even if it does frighten her at first.
Sunday, Billy

22.
Marriage is low down, but you spend the rest of your life paying for it.
Baskins

23.
If a man truly wants to communicate with his wife, he must enter her world of emotions.
Smalley, Gary

24.
Marriage is the operation by which a woman's vanity and a man's egotism are extracted without an anaesthetic.
Rowland, Helen

25.
You get married at twenty, you're going to be shocked who you're living with at thirty.
Peter Blake

26.
If there was strife and contention in the home, very little else in life could compensate for it.
Lawana Blackwell

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.
Plant and your spouse plants with you; weed and you weed alone.
Rousseau, Jean Jacques

29.
How many young hearts have revealed the fact that what they had been trained to imagine the highest earthly felicity was but the beginning of care, disappointment, and sorrow, and often led to the extremity of mental and physical suffering.
Beecher, Catharine Esther

30.
A good marriage would be between a blind wife and a deaf husband.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De

31.
If you would have a good wife, marry one who has been a good daughter.
Fuller, Thomas

32.
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

33.
Matrimony is the high sea for which no compass has yet to be invented.
Heine, Heinrich

34.
Try to take for a mate a person of your own neighborhood.
Hesiod

35.
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

36.
Each coming together of man and wife, even if they have been mated for many years, should be a fresh adventure; each winning should necessitate a fresh wooing.
Stopes, Marie Carmichael

37.
A marriage based on full confidence, based on complete and unqualified frankness on both sides; they are not keeping anything back; there's no deception underneath it all. If I might so put it, it's an agreement for the mutual forgiveness of sin.
Ibsen, Henrik

38.
The betrothed and accepted lover has lost the wildest charms of his maiden by her acceptance. She was heaven while he pursued her, but she cannot be heaven if she stoops to one such as he!
Emerson, Ralph Waldo

39.
Only as far as a man is happily married to himself is he fit for married life and family life in general.
Novalis

40.
A woman must be a genius to create a good husband.
Balzac, Honore De

41.
O curse of marriage, that we can call these delicate creatures ours, and not their appetites.
William Shakespeare

42.
All marriages are mixed marriages.
Chantal Saperstein

43.
Being married gives one one's position like nothing else can.
Victoria, Queen

44.
I married the first man I ever kissed. When I tell this to my children they just about throw up.
Bush, Barbara

45.
I don't worry about terrorism. I was married for two years.
Kinison, Sam

46.
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

47.
The problem with marriage is that it ends every night after making love, and it must be rebuilt every morning before breakfast.
Marquez, Gabriel Garcia

48.
If you wish to marry suitably, marry your equal.
Ovid

49.
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

50.
A happy marriage perhaps represents the ideal of human relationship -- a setting in which each partner, while acknowledging the need of the other, feels free to be what he or she by nature is: a relationship in which instinct as well as intellect can find expression; in which giving and taking are equal; in which each accepts the other, and I confronts Thou.
Storr, Anthony
