Remember, that if thou marry for beauty, thou bindest thyself all thy
life for that which perchance will neither last nor please thee one year;
and when thou hast it, it will be to thee of no price at all; for the desire
dieth when it is attained, and the affection perisheth when it is satisfied.

when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences. Marriage. It's like a cultural hand-rail. It links folks to the past and
guides them to the future. Man's best possession is a sympathetic wife. Never say that marriage has more of joy than pain. One man's folly is another man's wife. Nearly all marriages, even happy ones, are mistakes: in the sense that

out, you haven't wasted a whole day. A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person. Mignon McLaughlin My toughest fight was with my first wife. If you would marry suitably, marry your equal. That is what marriage really means: helping one another to reach the full
status of being persons, responsible and autonomous beings who do not run
away from life. A good marriage is one which allows for change and growth in the
individuals and in the way they express their love. I love being married. It's so great to find that one special person you

find a helpmate to keep the cold wind and dogs at bay. Happiness just wasn't

reciprocate civilities, go home, and dream of one another. Having little to

They marry, and discover what nothing but voluntary blindness had before
concealed; they wear out life in altercations, and charge nature with

of nature, and the institution of Providence, is yet very often the cause of
misery, and that those who enter into that state can seldom forbear to

been her object; it was the only honourable provision for well-educated
young women of small fortune, and however uncertain of giving happiness,
must be their pleasantest preservative from want. MARRIAGE, n. The state or condition of a community consisting of a
