-George Bernard Shaw
Quotations
Marriage
A good marriage, like any partnership, meant subordinating one's own needs to that of the other's, in the expectation that the other will do the same.
-Nicholas Sparks
"True Believer"
A man in love is incomplete until he is married. Then he's finished.
-Zsa Zsa Gabor
You'll be happy if you'll remember that men don't change much. Women do. Women adapt themselves, and if you think that means they lose their individuality, you're wrong. Show me a happy marriage and I'll show you a clever woman.
-Elizabeth Cadell
By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you’ll become happy; if you get a bad one, you’ll become a philosopher.
-Socrates
Oh, Lizzy! Do anything rather than marry without affection.
-Jane Austen
"Pride and Prejudice"
The man may be the head of the household. But the woman is the neck and she can turn the head whichever way she pleases.
-Nia Vardalos
If you both care for each other more than you care for yourself, your marriage will endure all.
-Lisa Tawn Bergren
It is most unwise for people in love to marry.
-George Bernard Shaw
A successful marriage is an edifice that must be rebuilt every day.
