If two stand shoulder to shoulder against the gods

If two stand shoulder to shoulder against the gods,
Happy together, the gods themselves are helpless
Against them while they stand so.
- Maxwell Anderson -

In a time when nothing is more

In a time when nothing is more certain than change,

the commitment of two people to one another has become difficult and rare.

Yet, by its scarcity, the beauty and value of this exchange

have only been enhanced.

- Robert Sexton -

The sum which two married

The sum which two married people

owe to one another defies calculation.

It is an infinite debt, which can only be

discharged through eternity.

- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe -

In every marriage

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 -

Sometimes I wonder

Sometimes I wonder if men and

women really suit each other.

Perhaps they should live next door

and just visit now and then.

- Katherine Hepburn -

One advantage of marriage

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 -

Chains do not hold a marriage

Chains do not hold a marriage together.

It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads which

sew people together through the years.

- Simone Signoret -

Marriage is an alliance entered

Marriage is an alliance entered into by

a man who can’t sleep with the window shut,

and a woman who can’t sleep with the window open.

- George Bernard Shaw -

I love being married

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 -

Strike an average

Strike an average between what a woman thinks

of her husband a month before she marries him

and what she thinks of him a year afterward,

and you will have the truth about him.

- H.L. Mencken -
