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%.

If there is such a thing as a good marriage, it is because it resembles friendship rather than love.
-Michel De Montaigne
A good husband is never the first to go to sleep at night or the last to awake in the morning.
-Honoré De Balzac
Marriage must fight constantly against a monster which devours everything: Routine.
-Honoré De Balzac
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"
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
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.
-Jane Austen
"Pride and Prejudice"
