THOUGHTS ON MARRIAGE



Here's a collection of nice quotes on marriage. Read on and ponder.. :-)

A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person. – Mignon McLaughlin

Between a man and his wife, nothing ought to rule but love. – William Penn

When entering into a marriage one ought to ask oneself: do you believe you are going to talking with this woman up into your old age? Everything else in marriage is transitory, but most of the time you are together will be devoted to conversation. – Friedrich Nietzsche

The thing that counts most in the pursuit of happiness is choosing the right companion. Remember that successful marriage depends on two things: (1) finding the right person and (2) being the right person.

Don’t marry the person you think you can live with; marry only the individual you can’t live without. – Dr. James C. Dobson

More marriages might have survived if the couple realized that sometimes the better comes after the worse. – Doug Larson

Marriage is not just spiritual communion and passionate embraces; marriage is also three meals a day, sharing the workload and remembering to carry out the trash. – Dr. Joyce Brothers

A good marriage requires determination to be married for good.
