Quotations
Marriage
It appears that ordinary men take wives because possession is not possible without marriage, and that ordinary women accept husbands because marriage is not possible without possession.
-Thomas Hardy
"Far from the Madding Crowd"
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 women were particular about men's characters, they would never get married at all.
-George Bernard Shaw
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
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
Men marry women with the hope they will never change. Women marry men with the hope they will change. Invariably they are both disappointed.
-Albert Einstein
From every human being there rises a light that reaches straight to heaven, and when two souls that are destined to be together find each other, the streams of light flow together and a single brighter light goes forth from that united being.
-Baal Shem Tov
It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.

Marriage has no guarantees. If that's what you're looking for, go live with a car battery.
-Erma Bombeck
