~ My advice to you is to get married. If you find a good wife, you'll be happy; if not, you'll
become a philosopher. ~
~ Love at first sight is easy to understand; it's when two people have been looking at each other
for a lifetime that it becomes a miracle.
~
~ Marriage is not a ritual or an end. It is a long, intricate, intimate dance together and nothing matters more
than your own sense of balance and your choice of partner. ~
~ Marriage has no guarantees. If that's what you're looking for, go live with a car battery. ~
~ Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads which sew people
together through the years. That is what makes a marriage last --more than passion or even sex! ~
~ A good marriage is one which allows for change and growth in the individuals and in the way they express
their love. ~
~ The goal in marriage is not to think alike, but to think together. ~
~ Happy marriages begin when we marry the ones we love, and they blossom when we love the ones we marry. ~
~ A happy marriage has in it all the pleasures of a friendship, all the enjoyments of sense and reason, and indeed, all the sweets of life.
~
~ Love: a temporary insanity, curable by marriage. ~
~ The friendship between a man and a woman which does not lead to marriage or desire for marriage may
be a life long experience of the greatest value to themselves and to all their circle of acquaintance
and of activity; but for this type of friendship both a rare man and a rare woman are needed. Perhaps
it should be added that either the man or the woman thus deeply bound in lifelong friendship who seeks
marriage must find a still rarer man or woman to wed, to make such a three cornered comradeship a permanent success.

~ If divorce has increased by one thousand percent, don't blame the women's movement. Blame the obsolete
sex roles on which our marriages were based.
