If there is such a thing as a good marriage, it is because it resembles friendship rather than love.
-Michel De Montaigne
Quotations
Marriage
How can two people love each other, create children together, cohabitation, build a life together, and then end up hating each other in the end.
-Zane
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
A good marriage, like any partnership, meant subordinating one's own needs to that of the other's, in the expectation that the other will do the same.
-Nicholas Sparks
"True Believer"
Getting divorced just because you don't love a man is almost as silly as getting married just because you do.
- Ivan Doig
Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, and half shut afterwards.
-Benjamin Franklin
An undutiful daughter will prove an unmanageable wife.
-Benjamin Franklin
Well, in the first place girls never marry the men they flirt with. Girls don't think it right.
-Oscar Wilde
"The Importance of Being Earnest"
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"
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
