Marriage
Oh, Lizzy! Do anything rather than marry without affection.

-Dave Meurer
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
Marriage has no guarantees. If that's what you're looking for, go live with a car battery.
-Erma Bombeck
A good marriage is where both people feel like they're getting the better end of the deal.
