The secret of a happy marriage remains a secret.

Marriage is neither heaven nor hell it is simply purgatory.

Marriage is not a noun it's a verb. It isn't something you get. It's something you do. It's the way you love your partner every day.

Romantic love is an illusion. Most of us discover this truth at the end of a love affair or else when the sweet emotions of love lead us into marriage and then turn down their flames.

I believe wholeheartedly in marriage. I don't exclusively mean a marriage with a legal contract but any relationship that constitutes a marriage because of the quality of their relationship.

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.

I don't know of many evangelicals who want to deny gay couples their legal rights. However most of us don't want to call it marriage because we think that word has religious connotations and we're not ready to see it used in ways that offend us.
