-
The present relationship existing between husband and wife, where one claims a command over the actions of the other, is nothing more than a remnant of the old leaven of slavery. It is necessarily destructive of refined love; for how can a man continue to regard as his type of the ideal a being whom he has, be denying an equality of privilege with himself, degraded to something below himself?
Herbert Spencer
-
I do think that marriage can be a wonderful thing if it's the right thing for the two people involved. I believe in love – very much so – how can you not believe after you've experienced it? I believe in relationships. One day, I know I'll find the right woman and get married myself.

We’ve been fighting about gay marriage for what, 15-20 years now. Is there any evidence that fighting gay marriage is contributing to a greater appreciation among the broad society of the marital institution? Is there any evidence that the re-institutionalization of marriage is happening as a result of opposing gay marriage? And the best answer I can give to that is 'no.'

Marriage ... has historically been a battlefield, the site of collisions within and between governments and religions over who should regulate it.

The one thing that has changed dramatically when you talk to the people of New Zealand and people from Ireland?

George Eliot
