Marriage Quotes

I don't do marriage. I think it's incredibly naff. And I don't like vulgar displays of ostentation.
Jenny Eclair

A sense of humor is great - it goes a long, long way in a marriage.
Chris Rock

It's a good marriage because each of us is what we are, allows the other one to be themselves, and appreciates each other for the right reason. You know, it's rare that you'll find two people who don't try to change the other person and let everyone be what they are.
Peter Marino
-
Marriage is a public good, not just a private relationship. We have a public stake in healthy marriages and two-parent families. Our society suffers with the collapse of the relationship of the couple who brings a child into the world.
William J Doherty
-
The two of you, there's something uncanny about the way you two are with each other. I mean everything – the way you look at each other, the way she relaxes when you put your hand on her back, the way you both seem to know what the other is always thinking, it's always struck me as extraordinary. That's another reason I keep putting marriage off. I know I want something like what you two share, and I'm not sure I've found it yet. I'm not sure I ever will. And with love like that, they say anything's possible, right?
Nicholas Sparks

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
-
Always get married in the morning. That way if it doesn't work out, you haven't wasted the whole day.
Mickey Rooney

Marriage is an extremely difficult relationship.
Lee Radziwill
-
Marriage has a unique place because it speaks of an absolute faithfulness, a covenant between radically different persons, male and female; and so it echoes the absolute covenant of God with his chosen, a covenant between radically different partners.
Rowan Williams
-
As marriage goes, I think most people sort of set being - you know getting married as the goal as opposed to being married.
Ashton Kutcher
-
When I tell you not to marry without love, I do not advise you to marry for love alone: there are many, many other things to be considered. Keep both heart and hand in your own possession, till you see good reason to part with them; and if such an occasion should never present itself, comfort your mind with this reflection, that though in single life your joys may not be very many, your sorrows, at least, will not be more than you can bear. Marriage may change your circumstances for the better, but, in my private opinion, it is far more likely to produce a contrary result.
Anne Bronte
