Quotations
Marriage
If you both care for each other more than you care for yourself, your marriage will endure all.
-Lisa Tawn Bergren
Getting divorced just because you don't love a man is almost as silly as getting married just because you do.
- Ivan Doig
From every human being there rises a light that reaches straight to heaven, and when two souls that are destined to be together find each other, the streams of light flow together and a single brighter light goes forth from that united being.
-Baal Shem Tov
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"
It is not your love that sustains the marriage,
but from now on, the marriage that sustains your love
-Dietrich Bonhoeffer
"Letters and Papers from Prison"

"Love in the Afternoon"
I love being married. It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.

-Thomas Hardy
"Far from the Madding Crowd"
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
