“I can think of no habit, kept up through the years, that binds a married couple more than that of reading good books together. Domestic problems and personal problems are for the time forgotten, and an intellectual intimacy is established that can be maintained in few other ways.” ThinkingWayYearsI CanBookProblemTogetherReadingMarriageCoupleHabitMarriedIntellectualForgottenIntimacyGood BookThrough The YearsMarried CouplesPersonal ProblemsReading Good Books Author:Alice Hegan Rice
“Marriage is those two thousand indistinguishable conversations, chatted over two thousand indistuinguishable breakfasts, where intimacy turns like a slow wheel. How do you measure the worth of becoming that familiar to somebody—so utterly well known and so thoroughly ever-present that you become an almost invisible necessity, like air?” LoveWellsTwoTurnsKnownMarriageAirBecomingThousandConversationInvisibleFamiliarIntimacyWheelsBreakfastWell Known Author:Elizabeth Gilbert
“Two things I do value a lot, intimacy and the capacity for joy, didn't seem to be on anyone else s list.

“Love, and love as deeply as possible. And if love itself becomes the marriage, that is another thing, altogether different. If love itself becomes such an intimacy that it is unbreakable, that is another thing, that is not a legal sanction. Legal sanctions are needed only because you are afraid. You know that your love is not enough; you need the legal support for it. You know perfectly well that you can escape or the woman can escape, hence you need the policeman to keep you together. But this is ugly, to need a policeman to keep you together. That's what marriage is!” IfsKnowsNeedsWellsDifferentEnoughTogetherLove IsMarriageSupportNeededAnd LoveUglyIntimacyPolicemenSanctionsUnbreakable Author:Rajneesh

“Marriage is a way to avoid intimacy. It is a trick to create a formal relationship. Intimacy is informal. If a marriage arises out of intimacy it is beautiful but if you are hoping that intimacy will arise out of marriage, you are hoping in vain. Of course, I know that many people, millions of people, have settled for marriage rather than for intimacy - because intimacy is growth and it is painful.” PeopleIfsKnowsWayBeautifulCoursesGrowthMarriageMillionsPainfulTricksAriseIntimacyVainFormal Author:Rajneesh
“So remember, if marriage arises out of intimacy then it is beautiful. That means that everybody should have lived together before they get married. The honeymoon should not happen after marriage, it should happen before marriage. One should have lived the dark nights, the beautiful days, the sad moments, the happy moments, together. One should have looked into each other's eyes deeply, into each other's being.” IfsShouldMeanMomentsHappensEyeTogetherBeautifulRememberNightDarkMarriageMarriedShould HaveAriseIntimacyHoneymoonDark NightBeautiful DayHappy MomentsBefore MarriageSad Moments Author:Rajneesh
