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.
(Barbara De Angelis)

Marriage is not about age; it's about finding the right person. 
(Sophia Bush)

Marriage is good for those who are afraid to sleep alone at night. 
 (St. Jerome)

Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union, they insist, there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which, in my book, is a good definition for friendship. 
 (Marily Monroe)

By all means, marry. If you get a good wife, you'll become happy; if you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.   
(Socrates)

Don't marry the person you think you can live with; marry only the individual you think you can't live without.                                          
 (James Dobson)

Do you know what it means to come home at night to a woman who'll give you a little love, a little affection, a little tenderness? It means you're in the wrong house, that's what it means. 
 (Henny Youngman )

Many people spend more time in planning the wedding than they do in planning the marriage. 
 (Zig Ziglar)

It's so important to keep a marriage alive with small treats and doing little things for each other. Just remembering to say nice things and to have listening time is vital. That ghastly phrase 'quality time' means taking three minutes to sit down and be still with someone rather than yelling over your shoulder as you rush out.
(Joanna Lumley)

Getting married, for me, was the best thing I ever did. I was suddenly beset with an immense sense of release, that we have something more important than our separate selves, and that is the marriage. There's immense happiness that can come from working towards that.
 (Nick Cave)

The secret to a happy marriage is if you can be at peace with someone within four walls, if you are content because the one you love is near to you, either upstairs or downstairs, or in the same room, and you feel that warmth that you don't find very often, then that is what love is all about.    
 (Bruce Forsyth)

To keep your marriage brimming, with love in the loving cup, whenever you're, admit it; whenever you're right, shut up.       
(Ogden Nash)

I love being married. It's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.
 (Rita Rudner)

I think that gay marriage should be between a man and a woman. 
(Arnold Schwarzenegger)

In a happy marriage it is the wife who provides the climate, the husband the landscape.

(Gerald Brenan)

The institution of marriage works better when there's a spiritual connection. If you're marrying just for the sake of the woman, then you may lose interest in each other very soon. When we marry in the interest of the Holy Spirit with the intention of serving God and humanity, then it gives a much larger perspective.
 (A. R. Rahman)

I've just concluded – since President Obama endorses the same-sex marriage, advocates homosexual people, and enjoys an attractive countenance – thus if it becomes necessary, I shall travel to Washington, D.C., get down on my knee, and ask his hand.
 (Robert Mugabe)

After 45 years of marriage, when I have an argument with my wife, if we don't agree, we do what she wants. But, when we agree, we do what I want!
 (Jacques Pepin)

I want a happy marriage and whatever it takes to achieve that. But I think the main prerequisite would have to be respect. He would have to respect me and vice versa. And, that would be more important than being in love. I think respect really goes a long way. And he would have to keep me happy. And he'd have to be very, very, secure.
 (Shilpa Shetty)

Sensual pleasures have the fleeting brilliance of a comet; a happy marriage has the tranquility of a lovely sunset. 
(Ann Landers)

Love is moral even without legal marriage, but marriage is immoral without love. When you make the sacrifice Ellen Key in marriage, you're sacrificing not to each other but to unity in a relationship.
 (Joseph Campbell)

 A successful marriage is an edifice that must be rebuilt every day. 
 (Andre Maurois)

There is nothing nobler or more admirable than when two people who see eye to eye keep house as man and wife, confounding their enemies and delighting their friends. 
(Homer)

The trend of opinion among eugenists is that we must make marriage more difficult. Certainly no one who is not a desirable parent should be permitted to produce progeny.
(Nikola Tesla)

When I'm weak, you can be strong; when I'm strong, you can be weak. That's what I believe marriage is.
 (Gisele Bundchen)

 Marriage is a coming together for better or for worse, hopefully enduring, and intimate to the degree of being sacred.
(William O. Douglas)

If a relationship is going wrong, if a marriage is going wrong, the answer cannot simply be to say, 'You can't afford to break up because you are going to lose the house.' The answer has to be only one thing, which is 'I love you.' 
(Rory Stewart)

Next month, I will celebrate my 30th anniversary of marriage with my beautiful bride, Vicki. Our marriage has been a blessing. I have gained even more respect for the institution over the past 3 decades and will defend it against attack.
 (Todd Tiahrt)

After about 20 years of marriage, I'm finally starting to scratch the surface of what women want. And I think the answer lies somewhere between conversation and chocolate.
(Anonymous)

I had a realization in the midst of my happy marriage that I had kind of lost most of my friends - my male friends in particular. And I started wondering if my wife, who was certainly my best friend, supplanted those relationships.    (Matthew Weiner)

My mother and stepfather were married 43 years, so I have watched a long marriage. I feel like I had a very good role model for that. And, you know, it's just a number.
 (Jamie Lee Curtis)

It's tough to stay married. My wife kisses the dog on the lips, yet she won't drink from my glass.                                                                         
(Rodney Dangerfield)

In my long life I have found peace, joy, and happiness beyond my fondest hopes and dreams. One of the supreme benedictions of my life has been my marriage to an elect daughter of God. I love her with all my heart and soul. 
(James E. Faust)

 If I get married, I want to be very married.
(Audrey Hepburn)

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)
