Quotations
Marriage
Marriage was not the combination of two entities into one; it was instead the creation of a third entity whose sole purpose was to soothe and inspire the two individuals.
-Christian Cantrell
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"
A good marriage is where both people feel like they're getting the better end of the deal.
-Anne Lamott "Joe Jones"
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
He knows little who will tell his wife all he knows.
-Thomas Fuller
Women leave their marriages when they can't take any more. Men leave when they find someone new.
-J. Courtney Sullivan
"Commencement"
There is nothing more lovely in life than the union of two people whose love for one another has grown through the years from the small acorn of passion into a great rooted tree.
-Vita Sackville-West
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.
-Socrates
The heart is like a woman and the head is like a man, and although man is the head of woman, woman is the heart of man, and she turns man's head because she turns his heart.
-Peter Kreeft
"Jesus-Shock"
