Marriage Quotes Quotes

“Love is the only criminal who, after stealing your heart, convinces you to celebrate her.”

“True love makes us feel safe and secure, not anxious or uncertain. Genuine love prioritizes our well-being, not just our convenience. When someone truly loves us, they're accountable for their actions and communicate openly. They make time for us, listen to us, and understand our needs. Exploitation has no place in real love; instead, there's mutual respect and care. If someone's love is genuine, they'll be present and committed, not just making excuses or playing games. In true love, actions speak louder than words, and trust is built, not broken.”

“When rejection comes, don't be dismayed, for it may be God's protection from what's not meant for you. Rejection can be a divine redirection, leading you to something greater. Trust that God's plan is better than yours. Though it hurts, rejection can shield you from harm. Let go and let God guide you to your destined path. In His timing, you'll find your perfect fit.”

“The best couples share the load, divide the grief, and add to the peace, thereby multiplying joy.”

“If you scratch below the glossy surface of many "enviable" marriages, often you'll find a disenchanted wife whose husband finds the landscape of her emotions as uninteresting as the moon's.”

“If a woman stands behind you, respect her; if she stands beside you, cherish her; if she stands with you, adore her.”

“At its fundamental nature, a final judgment that leads a person into marriage is not merely love, but a commitment to love a person forevermore, even when extenuating circumstances make it virtually impossible to continue extending untarnished and undiminished love. Marriage is a fundamental decision, a vow never to stop loving another person, never to leave a relationship irrespective of what life entails.”

“The biggest practical decisions for a man to make in his life are twofold: first, whom to marry, if anyone at all, and secondly, what work to do for a living. Marriage ties a man to the finite world of mortgages, overstuffed furniture, doctor bills, college savings plan for children, and the worries of how to support a wife once a man no longer feels capable of working every day. If a man chooses not to marry, his life probably will be less rich emotionally, but his occupational choice is less crucial since he can fritter about through life. In contrast, a man whom wishes to marry has a limited opportunity to pick an occupation, before he casts his future in concrete boots. Once a man marries, the possibility of changing careers grows remote. The importance of remaining at a dependable job to ensure financial support for his growing entourage will trump any unhappiness that he feels in his occupation.”

“Cheating in relationship is a sign of self-regulation failure. When it happens ones, it is a mistake. When it happens twice, it is unfortunate. But when it happens thrice or more, it is a pattern indicating primitive, uncivilized inhuman behavior.”

“A wife who discomforts you with truth is better than a mistress who massages you with lies.”

“Either one is promiscuous or in a relationship - it cannot be both at the same time.”

“There are all kinds of reasons people get divorced: they grow apart, there is abuse, they were never in love in the first place, they want different things… But when two people get divorced because one of them let a third person into the marriage, the person who was left behind faces years of psychological warfare they launch against themselves. Your person didn’t love you enough. Do you know how devastating that is? To realize you weren’t loved enough.”

“When her husband recovered, it was to shout abusively at her…. Later, when she reflected on it throughout the tedious courtroom proceedings, she realized this was the moment she had irrevocably determined to divorce her husband.”

“Nina could scarcely believe a house could be as quiet as the one on Washington Street. Although there were moments when she missed her children, her main response to living apart from her husband was relief…[H]er current solitude was not just a respite, it was a time to contemplate her future options. Nina marveled that she had choices to consider.”

“Leaving James was not something Nina had thought possible, but if she could do so and still keep her children, it might be better for them, as well as for her.”

“If they could not prove adultery or extreme cruelty, Nina's attorneys had an alternate strategy available. Rhode Island was unique in allowing divorce based upon other, more ambiguous grounds, as well...[as] an omnibus clause in the state's legal code authorized divorce based upon..."gross misbehavior and wickedness in either of the parties repugnant to and inconsistent with the marriage contract"...the relative vagueness of the terms "gross misbehavior and wickedness" left room for interpretation by Rhode Island judges. Therefore, it was crucial NIna's attorneys prove she had legitimate standing to file for divorce in Rhode Island.”

“As a hedge against possible failure to prove adultery, this alleged “that for a period of time from 1901 and continuing thereafter he [had] kept up and continued an undue, improper, indecorous and licentious association and intimacy with a woman, named Mabel Cochrane, many years his junior, and of questionable character and immoral habits.”[i] Furthermore, Nina accused James of “bestowing upon and receiving marked and improper attention” beginning in the fall of 1901, “indulging in undue and improper familiarity and intimacy” with Mabel Cochrane.”

“A relationship built on physical intimacy is not what God had in mind when He gave us the gift of healthy connection and sex. He does not wish for us to invest solely in the physical aspect of a relationship. Instead, He desires a man to invest all of himself into the heart, mind, and spirit of the woman he loves. And that goes far beyond being sexual. "Why Men Struggle to Love”
