Quotations
Marriage
Some marriages are made in heaven, but they all have to be maintained on earth.
-Debbie Macomber
"Mrs. Miracle"
Marriage should be between a spouse and a spouse, not a gender and a gender.
-Hendrik Hertzberg

-Nicholas Sparks
"True Believer"
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
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
A good marriage is where both people feel like they're getting the better end of the deal.
-Anne Lamott "Joe Jones"
Marriage must fight constantly against a monster which devours everything: Routine.
-Honoré De Balzac
It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.
-Friedrich Nietzsche
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
