Of course, the simple explanation of the fact is that marriage is the most important act of man's life in Europe or America, and that everything depends upon it.

It had not occurred to me that marriage requires the same effort as a career. And unlike a career, marriage requires a joint effort.

I always thought that marriage needs to happen at the right time, for the right reasons, and with the right person.

A marriage doesn't have to be perfect, but you can be perfect for each other.

I have a theory: I believe that with the advent of the United States and the lawful definition of marriage, it was defined as between one man and one woman. It was anti-polygamy, in effect saying no man can hoard his women.

I'll always be sad that my marriage ended.

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.

It's hard giving advice to a friend about their marriage. You never know if you're saying too much or too little.

The biggest surprise about our marriage is that Erin was out there.

The ever clearer consciousness that love can dispense with marriage, yet marriage cannot dispense with love, is already partially recognized by modern society, by the facility of divorce.

You know the fairy-tale drill, especially from the Disney versions: the heroines endure awful stuff in rites of passage that lead to a joyous resolution of, usually, marriage to a prince. 'Into the Woods' follows that template, then asks, 'What happens after Happy Ever After?'

If someone talks about union, fidelity, a monogamous relationship, love, blessing; I would say it sounds like marriage to me. And blessing, you see, I think is undermining our sacrament of marriage.

Marriage: a ceremony in which rings are put on the finger of the lady and through the nose of the gentleman.
