Most of these alternative arrangements, so-called, arise out of the ruins of marriages, not as an improvement of old fashioned marriage.

My partner Donald Trump says that married couples should always have a prenuptial agreement. True, a prenuptial is important if one partner is much richer than the other before marriage, but Kim and I don't have one.

The first condition of marriage between a man and a woman is that both must belong to each other totally.

My grandparents got married at a very young age, and a lot of what I think about marriage is based on their relationship. I watched them over the years and saw how they dealt with everything together, as a team.

A marriage is no amusement but a solemn act, and generally a sad one.

I view marriage as a sacred institution. I think two men naturally are predators. Gay relationships are a commercial break, not a whole movie.

Our marriage is grounded in the word of God. That's really it. God is the core of our marriage, and the foundation and the blueprint for it is how we live, and being open and honest and communicating, but ultimately doing what pleases God, and not in a selfish manner.

I'm coming out of a long term marriage and I don't want to jump into anything too serious or too much, too quick.

Marriage must be a relation either of sympathy or of conquest.

Either marriage is a destiny, I believe, or there is no sense in it at all, it's a piece of humbug.

I've never understood why we would want to deny all the joys - and the challenges - of marriage to anyone. Which is why I think any loving, committed couple - gay or straight - should be able to get married.

Love is an obsessive delusion that is cured by marriage.

I don't regret any decision in my life... not my career, not marriage. Every experience has been so fulfilling in so many ways.

I don't believe what I do outside my profession is anybody's' business. And that includes a personal thing like pregnancy or even marriage.

The facts are plain: Religious leaders who preside over marriage ceremonies must and will be guided by what they believe. If they do not wish to celebrate marriages for same-sex couples, that is their right. The Supreme Court says so. And the Charter says so.

My music is about where I am at the time. In 'Raymond vs. Raymond,' I was going through a lot of things, and it came out in my music. My marriage fell apart, and I was suddenly a single father.

When I talk about the importance of the institution of marriage, I think of the commitment and the significance of standing in front of those closest to you and promising fidelity to your partner 'til death do you part.'

Sometimes divorce is better than marriage.

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.

Marriage is... OK, it's rooted and grounded on love and attraction.

After a few years of marriage a man can look right at a woman without seeing her and a woman can see right through a man without looking at him.

Of course I love being in love - but it is marriage that really fulfills me. But not in every case.

Someone asked me recently if marriage is 50-50 - it averages out to be 50-50, but sometimes it's 75-25, sometimes it's 90-10. In the end, it has to average out to be 50-50; that's how you support each other.

I guess because the shows were activist in their own way - the marriage of my public activism and my career activism, you know - people understand me very well. They also understand there's a very strong bipartisan part in all of this.
