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"
When a woman thinks her husband is a fool, her marriage is over. They may part in one year or ten; they may live together until death. But if she thinks he is a fool, she will not love him again.
-Philippa Gregory
"The Other Queen"
In marriage, each partner is to be an encourager rather than a critic; a forgiver rather than a collector of hurts; an enabler rather than a reformer.
-H. Norman Wright
No marriage stays in the same pattern forever. It is both the best feature of marriage and the worst that it inevitably changes.
-Lisa Kleypas
"Love in the Afternoon"
Why does a woman work ten years to change a man’s habit and then complain that he's not the man she married?
-Barbra Streisand
Some marriages are made in heaven, but they all have to be maintained on earth.
-Debbie Macomber
"Mrs. Miracle"
My wife and I were happy for twenty years. Then we met.
-Rodney Dangerfield
The true love is unconditional.
Marriage is a conditional bond.
-Toba Beta
"My Ancestor Was an Ancient Astronaut"
How can two people love each other, create children together, cohabitation, build a life together, and then end up hating each other in the end.
-Zane
