In marriage, everyday you love and everyday you forgive. It is an ongoing sacrament, love and forgiveness.
-Bill Moyers
Quotations
Marriage
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
Marriage should be between a spouse and a spouse, not a gender and a gender.
-Hendrik Hertzberg
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
No marriage stays in the same pattern forever. It is both the best feature of marriage and the worst that it inevitably changes.

"Love in the Afternoon"
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"
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"
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"
If there is such a thing as a good marriage, it is because it resembles friendship rather than love.
-Michel De Montaigne
I know not which lives more unnatural lives, obeying husbands or commanding wives.
-Benjamin Franklin
