Quotations
Marriage
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
If you get bored with the person you married for love, there's something wrong with you - not with that person.
-Shahrukh Khan
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.
-Helen Hollick
"The Kingmaking"
By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you’ll become happy; if you get a bad one, you’ll become a philosopher.

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
Love: A temporary insanity curable by marriage.
-Ambrose Bierce
Oh, Lizzy! Do anything rather than marry without affection.
-Jane Austen
"Pride and Prejudice"
When in a relationship, a real man doesn't make his woman jealous of others; he makes others jealous of his woman.

There is more of good nature than of good sense at the bottom of most marriages.
