Marriage Quotes

“A man in love is incomplete until he has married. Then he's finished.”

“The present relationship existing between husband and wife, where one claims a command over the actions of the other, is nothing more than a remnant of the old leaven of slavery.

“When a man steals your wife, there is no better revenge than to let him keep her.”

“Husbands and wives, recognize that in marriage you have become one flesh. If you live for your private pleasure at the expense of your spouse, you are living against yourself and destroying your joy. But if you devote yourself with all your heart to the holy joy of your spouse, you will also be living for your joy and making a marriage after the image of Christ and His church.”

“A happy marriage is the union of two good forgivers.”

“Marriage: If you want something to last forever, you treat it differently. You shield it and protect it. You never abuse it. You don't expose it to the elements. You don't make it common or ordinary. If it ever becomes tarnished, you lovingly polish it until it gleams like new. It becomes special because you have made it so, and it grows more beautiful and precious as time goes by.”

“If nature had arranged that husbands and wives should have children alternatively, there would never be more than three in a family.”

“An archaeologist is the best husband a woman can have. The older she gets the more interested he is in her.”

“Dear young people, don't be afraid to marry. A faithful and fruitful marriage will bring you happiness.”
