Don't marry the person you think you can
live with; marry only the individual you think you can't live without. |
James C. Dobson |
|
Marry a man / woman you love to talk to. As you get older,
their conversational skills will be as important as any
other.
|
Anthony Robbins |
|
By all means marry; if you get a good wife,
you'll be
happy; if you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher. |
Socrates |
|
Only choose in marriage a man whom you
would choose as a friend if he were a woman. |
Joseph Joubert |
|
The bonds of matrimony are like any
other bonds – they mature slowly.
|
Peter De Vries |
|
Success in marriage does not come
merely through finding the right mate, but through being the
right mate.
|
Barnett R. Brickner |
|
What counts in making a happy marriage is
not so much how compatible you are, but how you deal with
incompatibility. |
George Levinger |
|
You can never be happily married to another
until you get a divorce from yourself. Successful marriage demands a
certain death to self.
|
Jerry McCant |
|
The success of marriage comes not in
finding the "right" person, but in the ability of both partners to
adjust to the real person they inevitably realize they married.
|
John Fischer |
|
Married life teaches one invaluable lesson:
to think of things far enough ahead not to say them. |
Jefferson
Machamer |
|
A
happy
marriage is the union of two good
forgivers. |

|
A perfect marriage is one in which "I'm
sorry" is said just often enough. |
Mignon
McLaughlin |
|
One advantage of marriage is that, when you
fall out of love with him or he falls out of love with you, it keeps you
together until you fall in again. |
Judith Viorst |
|
A successful marriage requires falling in love
many times, always with the same person.
|
Mignon McLaughlin |
|
In every marriage more than a week old,
there are grounds for
divorce. The trick is to find, and
continue to find grounds for
marriage.
|
Robert Anderson |
|
Love seems the swiftest but it is the
slowest of all growths. No man or woman really knows what perfect love
is until they have been married a quarter of a century.
|
Mark Twain |
|
Our wedding was many years ago. The
celebration continues to this day.
|
Gene Perret |
|
Like good wine, marriage gets better with
age – once you learn to keep a cork in it. |
Gene Perret |
|
One should never know too precisely
whom one has married.
|
Friedrich Nietzsche |
|
Don't smother each other. No one can grow
in shade. |
Leo Buscaglia |
|
It takes a loose rein to keep a marriage
tight. |
John Stevenson |
|
The majority of husbands remind me of an
orangutan trying to play the violin. |
Honore de Balzac |
|
The
problem
with marriage is that it ends every night after making love, and it must
be rebuilt every morning before breakfast. |
Gabriel García Márquez |
|
In a good relationship, people get angry,
but in a very different way. The Marriage Masters see a
problem a bit like a soccer ball. They kick it around. It's 'our'
problem.
Creative
Problem Solving |
John Gottman |
|
Write a
list of ways that you have benefited from being married to your
spouse. Then write a list of your spouses positive patterns and
qualities. Keep adding to the lists and reread them frequently. |
Rabbi Pliskin |
|
A
soulmate marriage does not at all mean that you have found
someone you match up with on all the cards – on all the issues,
on everything. That would be the most deadly dull thing to even
imagine. Instead, it means you've found someone and they don't
ever want to blow out that little light inside you. And you feel
the same way about them. |
Diane Sollee |
|
It is
sometimes essential for a husband and a wife to quarrel – they
get to know each other better. |
Goethe |
|
I have
learned that only two things are necessary to keep one's wife
happy. First, let her think she's having her own way. And
second, let her have it. |
Lyndon B. Johnson |
|
A long
marriage is two people trying to dance a duet and two solos at
the same time. |
Anne Taylor Fleming |
|
A good
marriage would be between a blind wife and a deaf husband. |
Michel de Montaigne |
|
Most
marriages can survive "better or worse." The tester is all the
years of "exactly the same." |
Robert Brault |
|
The
secret of a happy marriage remains a secret. |
Henny Youngman |
