Quotations
Marriage
Marriage is more about work than about divine luck, more about finding someone to love than about finding someone to meet your own laundry list of personal needs.
-Mark Gorman
To complain that I could only be married once was like complaining that I had only been born once.
-G. K. Chesterton
If there is such a thing as a good marriage, it is because it resembles friendship rather than love.
-Michel De Montaigne
When a man steals your wife, there is no better revenge than to let him keep her.
-Sacha Guitry
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.

"True Believer"
Don’t be jealous if I spend 50% of my time with you and 50% of my time with others, because you get 100% of 50%, while all the others have to share that other 50%.

-Jarod Kintz "This Book Has No Title"
Success in marriage does not come merely through finding the right mate but through being the right mate.
-Barnett R. Brickner
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
Marriage is a fine institution, but I'm not ready for an institution.
-Mae West
