Motivational Quotes
Marriage
Say what you will, making marriage work is a woman's business. The institution was invented to do her homage; it was contrived for her protection. Unless she accepts it as such --as a beautiful, bountiful, but quite unequal association --the going will be hard indeed.

Best Quotes about Marriage
We were happily married for eight months. Unfortunately, we were married for four and a half years.
Nick Faldo
Long engagements give people the opportunity of finding out each other's character before marriage, which is never advisable.
Wilde, Oscar
Marriage is our last, best chance to grow up.
Barth, Joseph
To keep your marriage brimming, with love in the wedding cup, whenever you're wrong, admit it; whenever you're right, shut up.
Nash, Ogden
A man in love is incomplete until he has married -- then he's finished.
Gabor, Zsa Zsa
Never marry for money. Ye'll borrow it cheaper.
Proverb, Scottish
When a match has equal partners then I fear not.
Aeschylus
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.
The man who says his wife can't take a joke forgets that she took him.
If there is such a thing as a good marriage, it is because it resembles friendship rather than love.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
I'm certain that most couples expect to find intimacy in marriage, but it somehow eludes them.
Dobson, Dr. James C.
An undutiful daughter will prove an unmanageable wife.
Franklin, Benjamin
Never marry a man who hates his mother, because he'll end up hating you.
Bennett, Jill
I think men who have a pierced ear are better prepared for marriage. They've experienced pain and bought jewelry.
Rudner, Rita
Polygamy is an endeavor to get more out of life than there is in it.
Hubbard, Elbert
'Tis safest in matrimony to begin with a little aversion.
Sheridan, Richard Brinsley
Men marry to make an end; women to make a beginning.
Dupuy, Alexis
In the perfect wedlock, the man, I should say, is the head, but the woman the heart, with which he cannot dispense.
Ruckett
You'll repent if you marry, and repent if you don't.
Proverb
A successful marriage is an edifice that must be rebuilt every day.
Andre Maurois
One man's folly is another man's wife.
Helen Rowland
It's a sad house where the hen crows louder than the cock.
Proverb, Scottish
A good marriage is like a casserole, only those responsible for it really know what goes in it.
If variety is the spice of life, marriage is the big can of leftover Spam.
Carson, Johnny
When a girl marries, she exchanges the attentions of all the other men of her acquaintance for the inattention of just one.
Rowland, Helen
A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.
Mignon McLaughlin
The deep, deep peace of the double-bed after the hurly-burly of the chaise-lounge.
Campbell, Mrs Patrick
Marriage is an act of will that signifies and involves a mutual gift, which unites the spouses and binds them to their eventual souls, with whom they make up a sole family --a domestic church.
John Paul II
I think like any marriage, especially when you've had divorced parents like myself, you'd want to try even harder to make it work.
Diana, Princess of Wales
Marriage is like a hot bath. Once you get used to it, it's not so hot.
We cannot do without it, and yet we disgrace and vilify the same. It may be compared to a cage, the birds without despair to get in, and those within despair to get out.
Montaigne, Michel Eyquem De
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
By this marriage, all little jealousies, which now seem great , and all great fears, which now import their dangers would then be nothing.
William Shakespeare
My marriage had its ups and downs like anyone's, but when it came down to it, I knew it was solid. I miss that sort of security, and that sort of connection with someone.
John Scalzi
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
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
Marrying into money was not a good thing for me.
Smith, Anna Nicole
It is obvious that all sense has gone out of modern marriage: which is, however, no objection to marriage but to modernity.
Nietzsche, Friedrich
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
Being married gives one one's position like nothing else can.
Victoria, Queen
In Hollywood all the marriages are happy, it's trying to live together afterwards that causes all the problems.
Winters, Shelley
Let the wife make the husband glad to come home, and let him make her sorry to see him leave.
Luther, Martin
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
Marriage is a mistake every man should make.
Jessel, George
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
Weeping bride, laughing wife, laughing bride, weeping wife.
Proverb, German
Sensual pleasures have the fleeting brilliance of a comet; a happy marriage has the tranquillity of a lovely sunset.
Landers, Ann
Bigamy is having one husband too many. Monogamy is the same.
Jong, Erica
If I ever marry it will be on a sudden impulse, as a man shoots himself.
Mencken, H. L.
I've sometimes thought of marrying, and then I've thought again.
Coward, Noel
