Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance. If the dispositions of the parties are ever so well known to each other or ever so similar beforehand, it does not advance their felicity in the least.

Jane Austen -
A perfect marriage is like a pure heart ... those who have it are fit to see God.
Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward
