Two people can only live as one when each is prepared to give and receive trust and understanding. Above that lies respect. Without respect for how the other feels, no marriage is worthwhile.

Quotations
Marriage
A good marriage is where both people feel like they're getting the better end of the deal.
-Anne Lamott "Joe Jones"
Well, in the first place girls never marry the men they flirt with. Girls don't think it right.

"The Importance of Being Earnest"
The desire to get married is a basic and primal instinct in women. It's followed by another basic and primal instinct: the desire to be single again.
-Nora Ephron
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
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"
When in a relationship, a real man doesn't make his woman jealous of others; he makes others jealous of his woman.
-Steve Maraboli
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%. This is the speech I’ve prepared to tell my wife in the future, when I’m spending a majority minus one percent of my time with my clones.
-Jarod Kintz "This Book Has No Title"
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"
There is a French saying; Love is the dawn of marriage and marriage is the sunset of love.
-De Finod
