Being divorced is like being hit by a Mack truck. If you live through it, you start looking very carefully to the right and to the left.
Jean Kerr
For years my wedding ring has done its job. It has led me not into temptation. It has reminded my husband numerous times at parties that it's time to go home. It has been a source of relief to a dinner companion. It has been a status symbol in the maternity ward.

Benjamin Franklin
A psychiatrist asks a lot of expensive questions your wife asks for nothing.

In marriage there are no manners to keep up, and beneath the wildest accusations no real criticism. Each is familiar with that ancient child in the other who may erupt again. We are not ridiculous to ourselves. We are ageless. That is the luxury of the wedding ring.
Enid Bagnold
It's tough to stay married. My wife kisses the dog on the lips, yet she won't drink from my glass.

Ruth Rendell
There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage.

The real act of marriage takes place in the heart, not in the ballroom or church or synagogue. It's a choice you make - not just on your wedding day, but over and over again - and that choice is reflected in the way you treat your husband or wife.
Barbara de Angelis
I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. I am not in favor of gay marriage. But when you start playing around with constitutions, just to prohibit somebody who cares about another person, it just seems to me that's not what America's about. Usually, our constitutions expand liberties, they don't contract them.
Barack Obama
I support gay marriage. I believe they have a right to be as miserable as the rest of us.
Kinky Friedman
If you cannot work on the marriage or the women is a moron, staying married and cheating makes the most sense because divorce is disruptive to the family life and your bank account.

Barack Obama
Having federal officials, whether judges, bureaucrats, or congressmen, impose a new definition of marriage on the people is an act of social engineering profoundly hostile to liberty.
Ron Paul
In every marriage more than a week old, there are grounds for divorce. The trick is to find, and continue to find, grounds for marriage.

Mitt Romney
The one charm about marriage is that it makes a life of deception absolutely necessary for both parties.
Oscar Wilde
Some people ask the secret of our long marriage. We take time to go to a restaurant two times a week. A little candlelight, dinner, soft music and dancing. She goes Tuesdays, I go Fridays.
Henny Youngman
Brought up to respect the conventions, love had to end in marriage. I'm afraid it did.

All married couples should learn the art of battle as they should learn the art of making love. Good battle is objective and honest - never vicious or cruel. Good battle is healthy and constructive, and brings to a marriage the principles of equal partnership.

What I believe is that marriage is between a man and a woman, but what I also believe is that we have an obligation to make sure that gays and lesbians have the rights of citizenship that afford them visitations to hospitals, that allow them to be, to transfer property between partners, to make certain that they're not discriminated on the job.

Bill Cosby
Many a good hanging prevents a bad marriage.
William Shakespeare
Marriage is like putting your hand into a bag of snakes in the hope of pulling out an eel.

A woman asking "Am I good? Am I satisfied?" is extremely selfish. The less women fuss about themselves, the less they talk to other women, the more they try to please their husbands, the happier the marriage is going to be.
Barbara Cartland
How marriage ruins a man! It is as demoralizing as cigarettes, and far more expensive.
Oscar Wilde
Friendship is the marriage of the soul, and this marriage is liable to divorce.
Voltaire
In almost every marriage there is a selfish and an unselfish partner. A pattern is set up and soon becomes inflexible, of one person always making the demands and one person always giving way.
Iris Murdoch
I think what makes our marriage work amid all the glare is that my husband is my best friend. He inspires everything in my life and enables me to do the best that I can. I want to hang out with him more than anyone.
Faith Hill
Marriage is like life - it is a field of battle, not a bed of roses.
Robert Louis Stevenson
I like marriage. The idea.
Toni Morrison
Marriage is give and take. You'd better give it to her or she'll take it anyway.

P. J. O'Rourke
Marriage is not a noun; it's a verb. It isn't something you get. It's something you do. It's the way you love your partner every day.

Jackie Kennedy
I've yet to be on a campus where most women weren't worrying about some aspect of combining marriage, children, and a career. I've yet to find one where many men were worrying about the same thing.
Gloria Steinem
Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us.
George Bernard Shaw
Marriage is the death of hope.
Woody Allen
The problem with marriage is that it ends every night after making love, and it must be rebuilt every morning before breakfast.

George Bernard Shaw
Even in the common affairs of life, in love, friendship, and marriage, how little security have we when we trust our happiness in the hands of others!
William Hazlitt
Wit is the sudden marriage of ideas which before their union were not perceived to have any relation.
Mark Twain
I have not supported same-sex marriage. I have supported civil partnerships and contractual relationships.
Hillary Clinton
Every marriage is a mystery to me, even the one I'm in. So I'm no expert on it.
Hillary Clinton
Well I think in a marriage you have to be honest and ask yourself, you know, what is my role? What is my responsibility?
Hillary Clinton
Divorce is probably of nearly the same date as marriage. I believe, however, that marriage is some weeks the more ancient.
Voltaire
So many people prefer to live in drama because it's comfortable. It's like someone staying in a bad marriage or relationship - it's actually easier to stay because they know what to expect every day, versus leaving and not knowing what to expect.
Ellen DeGeneres
A bride at her second marriage does not wear a veil. She wants to see what she is getting.
Helen Rowland
And let me make this very clear - unlike President Obama, I will not raise taxes on the middle class. As president, I will protect the sanctity of life. I will honor the institution of marriage. And I will guarantee America's first liberty: the freedom of religion.
Mitt Romney
After marriage, a woman's sight becomes so keen that she can see right through her husband without looking at him, and a man's so dull that he can look right through his wife without seeing her.
Helen Rowland
Always remember that the most important thing in a good marriage is not happiness, but stability.
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
I'm done with men... I'm going to be alone. I have no luck with relationships. I don't think I'm made for marriage.
Halle Berry
For it is mutual trust, even more than mutual interest that holds human associations together. Our friends seldom profit us but they make us feel safe. Marriage is a scheme to accomplish exactly that same end.
H. L. Mencken
I think there are a whole host of things that are civil rights, and then there are other things - such as traditional marriage - that, I think, express a community's concern and regard for a particular institution.
Barack Obama
I don't think marriage is a civil right, but I think that being able to transfer property is a civil right.
Barack Obama
A man's friendships are, like his will, invalidated by marriage - but they are also no less invalidated by the marriage of his friends.
Samuel Butler
Not cohabitation but consensus constitutes marriage.
Marcus Tullius Cicero
Whenever a husband and wife begin to discuss their marriage they are giving evidence at a coroner's inquest.
H. L. Mencken
Like me, the great majority of Americans wish both to preserve the traditional definition of marriage and to oppose bias and intolerance directed towards gays and lesbians.
Mitt Romney
Culture, what you believe, what you value, how you live matters. Now, as fundamental as these principles are, they may become topics of democratic debates from time to time, so it is today with the enduring institution of marriage. Marriage is a relationship between a man and a woman.
Mitt Romney
In marriage do thou be wise: prefer the person before money, virtue before beauty, the mind before the body; then thou hast a wife, a friend, a companion, a second self.
William Penn
Marriage is distinctly and repeatedly excluded from heaven. Is this because it is thought likely to mar the general felicity?

Jeff Bridges
I have yet to hear a man ask for advice on how to combine marriage and a career.

Earl Warren
I come from divorce. I'm only doing marriage once. It's not a game for me.
Shia LaBeouf
In Hollywood a marriage is a success if it outlasts milk.

Dick Gregory
Marriage is the tomb of love.
Giacomo Casanova
We will see a breakdown of the family and family values if we decide to approve same-sex marriage, and if we decide to establish homosexuality as an acceptable alternative lifestyle with all the benefits that go with equating it with the heterosexual lifestyle.
Jerry Falwell
Marriage is wonderful.
Jennifer Aniston
Marriage brings up all the things I pushed to the back burner - the fears, the mistrust, the doubts, the insecurities. It's like opening Pandora's box.

Helen Rowland
I love the concept of togetherness and the entwinement of marriage.

Marriage is a reflection of your life in general: how you treat people, how you argue, how secure you are in your own thoughts. How vehemently do you argue your point of view? With what disdain do you view the other's point of view?
William Shatner
I am against marriage, and I don't give a fig for society.
Brigitte Bardot
I firmly believe in marriage. It's a real important decision that takes a lot of dedication and time. If you're thinking about divorce. You shouldn't get married.

Alanis Morissette
The press is just not your friend when it comes to a marriage. That's why we didn't sell the pictures of our wedding, and we got offered millions of dollars for them, millions.
Katy Perry
A key to keeping your husband is getting him to miss you. That keeps a marriage fresh.
Tori Amos
I think even in a good marriage, especially if you stay together long enough, there are going to be events that happen.
Tori Amos
I believe a marriage is between a man and a woman.
George W. Bush
A good marriage is one which allows for change and growth in the individuals and in the way they express their love.
Pearl S. Buck
Sometimes I bust out and do things so permanent. Like tattoos and marriage.
Drew Barrymore
Marriage is a very good thing, but I think it's a mistake to make a habit out of it.
W. Somerset Maugham
The details surrounding both my marriage and subsequent filing for divorce are private, and I had hoped to keep them that way for the sake of my family.
Eminem
Crucial to understanding federalism in modern day America is the concept of mobility, or 'the ability to vote with your feet.' If you don't support the death penalty and citizens packing a pistol - don't come to Texas. If you don't like medicinal marijuana and gay marriage, don't move to California.
Rick Perry
Marriage: A friendship recognized by the police.
Robert Louis Stevenson
You can forgive people who do not follow you through a philosophical disquisition; but to find your wife laughing when you had tears in your eyes, or staring when you were in a fit of laughter, would go some way towards a dissolution of the marriage.
Robert Louis Stevenson
It takes a lot of work to put together a marriage, to put together a family and a home.
Elizabeth Edwards
I have a terrific marriage, but unlike a lot of relationships where they ebb and flow, no matter what happens you fall deeper and deeper in love every day. It's kind of the best thing that can happen to you. It's thrilling.
Hugh Jackman
The secret of a happy marriage is finding the right person. You know they're right if you love to be with them all the time.
Julia Child
I suffered, I really suffered, with all three of my husbands. And I tried damn hard with all three, starting each marriage certain that it was going to last until the end of my life. Yet none of them lasted more than a year or two.
Ava Gardner
When you're a father in a marriage, you sort of become the mother's assistant. And you sort of get a list from her every day and you run down the list and it feels very much like a chore.
Louis C. K.
The sad truth is that the civil rights movement cannot be reborn until we identify the causes of black suffering, some of them self-inflicted. Why can't black leaders organize rallies around responsible sexuality, birth within marriage, parents reading to their children and students staying in school and doing homework?
Henry Louis Gates
I do not think that marriage is one of my talents. I've been much happier unmarried than married.
Doris Lessing
It's not someone else's responsibility to honor my marriage. It's my responsibility.
David Duchovny
In marriage, a man becomes slack and selfish, and undergoes a fatty degeneration of his moral being.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Marriage is one long conversation, chequered by disputes.
Robert Louis Stevenson
What is marriage, is marriage protection or religion, is marriage renunciation or abundance, is marriage a stepping-stone or an end. What is marriage.
Gertrude Stein
A wife lasts only for the length of the marriage, but an ex-wife is there for the rest of your life.
Jim Samuels
A marriage without conflicts is almost as inconceivable as a nation without crises.
Andre Maurois
Even if you plan a marriage and a family, you are never quite prepared for the reality versus how you imagined it. In a lot of ways it's better, and in a lot of ways it's worse. That's life, right?
Katherine Heigl
An affair now and then is good for a marriage. It adds spice, stops it from getting boring... I ought to know.
Bette Davis
Right now, I'm not really thinking about marriage.
Adam Lambert
I believe the home and marriage is the foundation of our society and must be protected.
Billy Graham
Have you ever heard of a good marriage growing in front of the cameras?
Brigitte Bardot
We sleep in separate rooms, we have dinner apart, we take separate vacations - we're doing everything we can to keep our marriage together.
Rodney Dangerfield
My decision to end my marriage was such a risk to lose ratings and lose my fan base. I had to take that risk for my inner peace and to be happy with myself.
Kim Kardashian
Marriage is gonna be your stability through everything.
Miranda Lambert
I couldn't bear a marriage in which one partner hinges on the other.
Clive Owen
Marriage is miserable unless you find the right person that is your soulmate and that takes a lot of looking.
Marvin Gaye
Before marriage, a man declares that he would lay down his life to serve you; after marriage, he won't even lay down his newspaper to talk to you.
Helen Rowland
I don't know why someone else's marriage has anything to do with me.
Elizabeth Edwards
I read somewhere that Mitt and I have a 'storybook marriage.' Well, in the storybooks I read, there were never long, long, rainy winter afternoons in a house with five boys screaming at once. And those storybooks never seemed to have chapters called MS or breast cancer.
Ann Romney
Children are supposed to help hold a marriage together. They do this in a number of ways. For instance, they demand so much attention that a husband and wife, concentrating on their children, fail to notice each other's faults.
Richard Armour
Marriage is actually really terrifying. It doesn't work for many people.
Katherine Heigl
Marriage, at this point in my life? I'm not interested in it. Yet. Maybe later when I'm 35 or 40.
Amanda Seyfried
You know, I believe that marriage is between a man and a woman.
Carly Fiorina
Marriage changes everything.
Marilyn Manson
Now that virtually every career is an option for ambitious girls, it can no longer be considered regressive or reactionary to reintroduce discussion of marriage and motherhood to primary education. We certainly do not want to return to the simplistic duality of home economics classes for girls and wood shop for boys.
Camille Paglia
It had not occurred to me that marriage requires the same effort as a career. And unlike a career, marriage requires a joint effort.
Jessica Savitch
You know what's funny? I don't ever feel the need to escape. I have a strong marriage. I like my life. You hear about these guys having midlife crises - I don't see that happening to me.
Harry Connick, Jr.
I don't see any reason for marriage when there is divorce.
Catherine Deneuve
My marriage is on the rocks again, yeah, my wife just broke up with her boyfriend.
Rodney Dangerfield
Spending only what the country can afford, rewarding savings, encouraging independence, supporting marriage: people know that these things are common sense.
William Hague
Friendship is two-sided. It isn't a friend just because someone's doing something nice for you. That's a nice person. There's friendship when you do for each other. It's like marriage - it's two-sided.
John Wooden
President Bush once said that marriage is a sacred institution and should be reserved for the union of one man and one woman. If this is the case - and most Americans would agree with him on this - then I have to ask: Why is the government at all involved in marrying people?
Tony Campolo
If marriage really is a sacred institution, then why is the government controlling it, especially in a nation that affirms separation of church and state?
Tony Campolo
It is always incomprehensible to a man that a woman should ever refuse an offer of marriage.
Jane Austen
A sense of humor is great - it goes a long, long way in a marriage.
Chris Rock
Feminism is dated? Yes, for privileged women like my daughter and all of us here today, but not for most of our sisters in the rest of the world who are still forced into premature marriage, prostitution, forced labor - they have children that they don't want or they cannot feed.
Isabel Allende
I think men who have a pierced ear are better prepared for marriage. They've experienced pain and bought jewelry.
Rita Rudner
It's nice to know you have support. Last night I got a marriage proposal. I just laughed.
Carrie Underwood
Woman, or more precisely put, perhaps, marriage, is the representative of life with which you are meant to come to terms.
Franz Kafka
Let a man do what he will by a single woman, the world is encouragingly apt to think Marriage a sufficient amends.
Samuel Richardson
Love before marriage is absolutely necessary.
Samuel Richardson
I'll always be sad that my marriage ended.
Shania Twain
I'm so wrapped up in my work that it's often impossible to consider other things in my life. My marriage ended in divorce because of this, my relationship with Holly has suffered by this.
Jim Carrey
I never had a policy about marriage. I got married very young in life and I always think in all relationships, I've always thought that it's counterproductive to have a theory on that.
Jack Nicholson
There is, hidden or flaunted, a sword between the sexes till an entire marriage reconciles them.
C. S. Lewis
Anyone who thinks that the vice-president can take a position independent of the president of his administration simply has no knowledge of politics or government. You are his choice in a political marriage, and he expects your absolute loyalty.
Hubert H. Humphrey
Marriage is obsolete and a trap.
Catherine Deneuve
If we abandon marriage, we abandon the family.
Michael Enzi
My mother had a son from previous marriage and her husband died in Second World War.
Mikhail Baryshnikov
I have no difficulty with the recognition of civil unions for non-traditional relationships but I believe in law we should protect the traditional definition of marriage.
Stephen Harper
Sobering up was responsible for breaking up my marriage. That's what it couldn't stand.
James Taylor
I am fiscally prudent and socially progressive. I believe in protecting a woman's right to choose. I believe in marriage equality.
Andrew Cuomo
Marriage equality changed life for people.
Andrew Cuomo
But the key to our marriage is the capacity to give each other a break. And to realize that it's not how our similarities work together; it's how our differences work together.
Michael J. Fox
Love, the quest; marriage, the conquest; divorce, the inquest.
Helen Rowland
Mr. DeMille's theory of sexual difference was that marriage is an artificial state for women. The want to be taken, ruled, raped. That was his theory.
Hedy Lamarr
I believe marriage should be between one man and one woman. That's my view, and that'll be the view of our state because I wouldn't sign a bill that - like the one that was in New York.
Chris Christie
Now I'm a wife and a mother of two. It's a really different role. I always referred to No Doubt as a marriage, because that's what it's like to be together for so long and go through what we've been through. I can't really have that relationship with them anymore.
Gwen Stefani
A miracle... my biggest accomplishment is my marriage so far. Because it's hard, everyone knows it's hard.
Gwen Stefani
Marriage equality is about more than just marriage. It's about something greater. It's about acceptance.
Charlize Theron
I'm all for same-sex marriage.
Tori Spelling
I believe in marriage. I believe marriage is a really important institution, it's one of the most important institutions we have.
Theresa May
In terms of the legal matter of creating a contract between two people that's called marriage, and allowing them to live together with the protection of law, it seems to me is the way we should be moving in this country.
Colin Powell
I didn't think marriage worked. I thought everybody who was married was secretly miserable - that it was something they just put up with for their children.
Salma Hayek
Marriage is a risk; I think it's a great and glorious risk, as long as you embark on the adventure in the same spirit.
Cate Blanchett
The most happy marriage I can picture or imagine to myself would be the union of a deaf man to a blind woman.
Samuel Taylor Coleridge
If you've gone into a marriage and you haven't been clear about how you're going to handle money, how you want to raise kids, who is going to work or stay home or what have you, then you've set yourself up for failure.
Phil McGraw
There is nothing wrong with your marriage if you're dealing with bills and kids and the broken garbage disposal and in-laws and work demands. That's a normal marriage.
Phil McGraw
Marriage requires a special talent, like acting. Monogamy requires genius.
Warren Beatty
I'm 0 for 3 with marriage - the scoreboard doesn't lie, never has. So what we all have is a marriage of the heart. To sully or contaminate or radically disrespect this union with a shameful contract is something that I will leave to the amateurs and the Bible grippers.
Charlie Sheen
I believe in traditional marriage and I believe in the Defense of Marriage Act.
Herman Cain
Art is a marriage of the conscious and the unconscious.
Jean Cocteau
For me it's also - the music is equally as important. I mean I think as somebody who writes music, there just has to sort of be the marriage between both.
Katey Sagal
When David Arquette and I got engaged we started therapy together. I'd heard that the first year of marriage is the hardest, so we decided to work through all that stuff early.
Courteney Cox
Is marriage for ever? I think you get married with the intention that it will be, but who knows?
Courteney Cox
It's so easy to grow apart; marriage takes work.
Courteney Cox
The possibility of divorce renders both marriage partners stricter in their observance of the duties they owe to each other. Divorces help to improve morals and to increase the population.
Denis Diderot
I would absolutely, definitely never sell my wedding pictures to a magazine. I'd like it to be a special day, not a photo shoot. And once you've done that, your marriage becomes everybody else's business.
Katherine Jenkins
More belongs to marriage than four legs in a bed.
Rainer Maria Rilke
Marriage is a good deal like a circus: there is not as much in it as is represented in the advertising.
E. W. Howe
Books and marriage go ill together.
Moliere
I would love to have the same rights as everybody else. I would love, I don't care if it's called marriage. I don't care if it's called, you know, domestic partnership. I don't care what it's called.
Ellen DeGeneres
A man's love, till it has been chastened and fastened by the feeling of duty which marriage brings with it, is instigated mainly by the difficulty of pursuit.
Anthony Trollope
I'm not convinced about marriage. Divorce is so easy, and that fact that gay people are not allowed to marry takes much of the meaning out of it. Committing yourself to one person is sacred.
Natalie Portman
Anything outside marriage seems like freedom and excitement.
Jeanette Winterson
Never ever discount the idea of marriage. Sure, someone might tell you that marriage is just a piece of paper. Well, so is money, and what's more life-affirming than cold, hard cash?
Dennis Miller
There are few more powerful tools for promoting stability than the institution of marriage.
Iain Duncan Smith
Over the years the political establishment has frowned if a mainstream politician mentions marriage.
Iain Duncan Smith
I don't have this fantasy about marriage anymore. Everyone says it takes hard work. Well, it kind of does - and I'm much more pragmatic about romance than I used to be.
Jennifer Garner
The rule with marriage is the less you talk about it the better, as far as I can tell.
Jennifer Garner
I thought the divorce statistics would never apply to me. I was beyond heartbroken when they did. But I got up and got on with it. I also kept my belief in marriage.
Jennifer Garner
Marriage is like twirling a baton, turning hand springs or eating with chopsticks. It looks easy until you try it.
Helen Rowland
Perhaps my problem in marriage-and it is the problem of many women-was to want both intimacy and independence. It is a difficult line to walk, yet both needs are important to a marriage.
Hedy Lamarr
The ceremony took six minutes. The marriage lasted about the same amount of time though we didn't get a divorce for almost a year.
Hedy Lamarr
Defining marriage is a power that should be left to the states. Moreover, no state should be forced to recognize a marriage that is not within its own laws, Constitution, and legal precedents.
John Sununu
Straight couples don't have to be monogamous to be married or married to be monogamous. Monogamy no more defines marriage than the presence of children does. Monogamy isn't compulsory and its absence doesn't invalidate a marriage.
Dan Savage
The cultural expectation should be if there's infidelity, the marriage is more important than fidelity.
Dan Savage
Traditional marriage is what should be sanctioned.
Jeb Bush
Since the dawn of time, traditional marriage - the union between one man and one woman - has been the building block of civilization, and at no point in our nation's history has that foundation been under more severe attack than now.
Jim DeMint
Marriage is a religious and state issue.
Jim DeMint
A good marriage is different to a happy marriage.
Debra Winger
Most people like to read about intrigue and spies. I hope to provide a metaphor for the average reader's daily life. Most of us live in a slightly conspiratorial relationship with our employer and perhaps with our marriage.
John le Carre
There was a time in the marriage when I could no longer look at myself in a mirror, couldn't feel I was a nice person. A bad relationship can do that, can make you doubt everything good you ever felt about yourself.
Dionne Warwick
Marriage: a ceremony in which rings are put on the finger of the lady and through the nose of the gentleman.
Herbert Spencer
I've always been wary of marriage.
Cynthia Nixon
Most of these alternative arrangements, so-called, arise out of the ruins of marriages, not as an improvement of old fashioned marriage.
Christopher Lasch
I think marriage and athletes is a bad combination.
Dennis Rodman
Nothing in life is as good as the marriage of true minds between man and woman. As good? It is life itself.
Pearl S. Buck
Our marriage is between us. If we decide to continue being together or not, it's our business.
Gwyneth Paltrow
In terms of my marriage, you know, falling in love with my husband was by far the best thing that's ever happened to me.
Caroline Kennedy
I don't know if I'm built for marriage.
Jamie Foxx
In interviews I gave early on in my career, I was quoted as saying it was possible to have it all: a dynamic job, marriage, and children. In some respects, I was a social adolescent.
Jessica Savitch
I don't think there's anything they can say about me that I haven't said about myself already. And I would be an absolute total liar, and my fans would not respect me, if I said that my life and my marriage are perfect. But we absolutely love each other; we have fun together - it's great.
Mary J. Blige
I tried marriage. I'm 0 for 3 with the marriage thing. So, being a ballplayer - I believe in numbers. I'm not going 0 for 4. I'm not wearing a golden sombrero.
Charlie Sheen
Marriage is like a game of chess except the board is flowing water, the pieces are made of smoke and no move you make will have any effect on the outcome.
Jerry Seinfeld
The truth is you can have a great marriage, but there are still no guarantees.
Demi Moore
Marriage brings one into fatal connection with custom and tradition, and traditions and customs are like the wind and weather, altogether incalculable.
Soren Kierkegaard
Marriage is a big deal, but who's to say I'm not going to pull a Vegas and get married to see what it's like for a minute?
Lindsay Lohan
My father was very big on marriage.
Sidney Poitier
I believe in traditional marriage.
Karl Rove
Well, marriage is a very important part of our culture and our society. If we want to have a hopeful and decent society, we ought to aim for the ideal.
Karl Rove
Never stay in a bad marriage, and don't hang around with psycho coke fiends.
Joe Rogan
I think of marriage as a garden. You have to tend to it. Respect it, take care of it, feed it. Make sure everyone is getting the right amount of, um, sunlight.
Mark Ruffalo
It devastates me now that I have been reduced to a Hollywood statistic - another joke marriage.
Sophia Bush
I've had two terrific relationships, but both ended in marriage.
Jane Seymour
I believe in the institution of marriage, and I intend to keep trying till I get it right.
Richard Pryor
Accident counts for as much in companionship as in marriage.
Henry Adams
Coming to terms with the fact that my marriage was a failure was devastating and very difficult.
Sarah McLachlan
It's all kind of a big illusion: the white picket fence and the perfect marriage and the kids. Check that box off, check that box off, and move forward.
Sarah McLachlan
Well, my view before was a Western view, and I certainly understand marriage equality and civil rights, equal rights for all, but having visited developing nations and some of the poorest nations in the world, I realize how deep it goes and how much work really needs to be done to create equality for all.
Jason Mraz
When the rose and the cross are united the alchemical marriage is complete and the drama ends. Then we wake from history and enter eternity.
Robert Anton Wilson
You know, there were major problems in my marriage.
Hulk Hogan
While 45 of the 50 States have either a State constitutional amendment or a statute that preserves the current definition of marriage, left-wing activist judges and officials at the local levels have struck down State laws protecting marriage.
John Boehner
And that is why marriage and family law has emphasized the importance of marriage as the foundation of family, addressing the needs of children in the most positive way.
John Boehner
Well you know, I think a lot of us in marriage know that you play different roles at different times. And Mitt can get very intense, and I can have the ability to kind of talk him off the rails sometimes and say, 'Hey let's look at what is really important and let's do that now.'
Ann Romney
In marriage, it's always that give and take and rebalancing that we have to do in how we can help each other. But, I have been known at times by my sons, that is the name that they call me-the Mitt stabilizer.
Ann Romney
There are four stages in a marriage. First there's the affair, then the marriage, then children and finally the fourth stage, without which you cannot know a woman, the divorce.
Norman Mailer
In 1977 we played America and Europe three times, and Japan - my marriage suffered as a result. My then wife took the kids to Canada to be near her parents.
Phil Collins
I think marriage is ghastly.
Rupert Everett
The biggest problem in my life is trying to be the kind of man that I want to be, the father that I want to be, and how to process the failure of my marriage.
Ethan Hawke
I always felt that a marriage works best at a farm... where you're together and everybody has clear-cut roles; they have chores, 'you take care of this' and you know. But it's hard.
Ethan Hawke
I don't know what my version of a relationship or marriage is yet, because the typical model seems a little broken to me.
Michelle Williams
Marriage is this grand madness, and I think if people knew that, they would perhaps take it more seriously.
Bono
In a bad marriage, friends are the invisible glue. If we have enough friends, we may go on for years, intending to leave, talking about leaving - instead of actually getting up and leaving.
Erica Jong
The biggest financial pitfall in life is divorce. And the biggest reason for divorce is marriage.
Gene Simmons
Marriage is an institution, and you must be fully committed to it.
Gene Simmons
Marriage is something that needs to be worked on every day. I don't know if I'm the one to give marital advice since I've only been married for a little over a year, but marriage is certainly easier if you are open, trusting and loving.
Emily Blunt
Women today have more of an overview of their lives and how marriage is or is not a part of it.
Helen Reddy
I was looking very much for a career. My second marriage to Stan Herman had ended, and I wanted very much to be independent, not take alimony from him, be on my own, do the right thing.
Linda Evans
Courtship is to marriage, as a very witty prologue to a very dull play.
William Congreve
My kids have moved more in their twenties, you know, than my parents have moved in nearly 40-something years of marriage before they died. So there's a part of me that laments what we have lost, and that is a sense of community.
Mike Huckabee
I think like any marriage, especially when you've had divorced parents like myself; you want to try even harder to make it work.
Princess Diana
Every marriage tends to consist of an aristocrat and a peasant. Of a teacher and a learner.
John Updike
That a marriage ends is less than ideal; but all things end under heaven, and if temporality is held to be invalidating, then nothing real succeeds.
John Updike
The first breath of adultery is the freest; after it, constraints aping marriage develop.
John Updike
I don't think young men or women should feel pressured into marriage. You shouldn't marry anyone, in my opinion, who you have to try hard for.
Rachael Ray
Marriage is like a formality for me.
David Copperfield
No, I think marriage is a great thing.
David Copperfield
People try much less hard to make a marriage work than they used to fifty years ago. Divorce is easier.
Mary Wesley
Love is more pleasant than marriage for the same reason that novels are more amusing than history.
Nicolas Chamfort
To me marriage is for five or ten years.
Cher
The clearest explanation for the failure of any marriage is that the two people are incompatible; that is, that one is male and the other female.
Anna Quindlen
Cross-cultural marriage is difficult, especially when one person has to live in another country. But I thought there was a very good chance of it working because people grow together if they have a common passion.
Imran Khan
Marriage! Nothing else demands so much of a man.
Henrik Ibsen
How do you explain the bond between man and wife? Well, for one thing, it's private. What people do in their own marriage is their own business.
Robin Gibb
Before marriage, many couples are very much like people rushing to catch an airplane; once aboard, they turn into passengers. They just sit there.
Paul Getty
Marriage made more sense when it was indissoluble. It's the woman trying to cope with the strains of a one-parent family who will suffer most from the relaxation of the divorce laws.
Germaine Greer
I put my career in second place throughout both my marriages and it suffered. I don't regret it. You make choices. If you want a good marriage, you must pay attention to that. If you want to be independent, go ahead. You can't have it all.
Lauren Bacall
The priesthood is a marriage. People often start by falling in love, and they go on for years without realizing that love must change into some other love which is so unlike it that it can hardly be recognized as love at all.
Iris Murdoch
One doesn't have to get anywhere in a marriage. It's not a public conveyance.
Iris Murdoch
This marriage is no one's business but our own.
Bobby Darin
I ran to my marriage, I was happily ready to take on marriage.
Mark Ruffalo
I find it disturbing that the media keeps referring to my marriage, since I got divorced in 1979. But the media never wants to let me forget.
Bianca Jagger
I've always been clear, I support the traditional definition of marriage.
Stephen Harper
On the one hand, the idea of marriage and the sort of traditional family life repulses me. But on the other hand, I long for it, you know what I mean? I'm constantly in conflict with things. And it is because of my past and my upbringing and the journey that I've been on.
Madonna Ciccone
The Amateur Marriage grew out of the reflection that of all the opportunities to show differences in character, surely an unhappy marriage must be the richest.
Anne Tyler
Marriage is socialism among two people.
Barbara Ehrenreich
Marriage is the torment of one, the felicity of two, the strife and enmity of three.
Washington Irving
Marriage is really tough because you have to deal with feelings... and lawyers.
Richard Pryor
Here in Hollywood you can actually get a marriage license printed on an Etch-A-Sketch.
Dennis Miller
Bring a wife home to your house when you are of the right age, not far short of 30 years, nor much above; this is the right time for marriage.
Hesiod
My parents separated when I was four. It wasn't the smoothest of divorces, but then as my mother always says, you can't have a passionate marriage without a passionate divorce.
Sophie Ellis Bextor
I haven't been faithful to my wife. Our marriage has been tainted with my infidelities. I was irresponsible.
David Boreanaz
I've always been suspicious of TV, I've always found music and video to be an unhappy marriage.
Keith Richards
