What makes men indifferent to their wives is that they can see them when they please. Ovid
Never marry but for love; but see that thou lovest what is lovely. William Penn
Between a man and his wife nothing ought to rule but love. Authority is for children and servants, yet not without sweetness. William Penn
This seemed a dreary and wasted life for a girl with fifteen years of straight A's, but I knew that's what marriage was like, because cook and clean and wash was just what Buddy Willard's mother did from morning till night, and she was the wife of a university professor and had been a private school teacher herself. Syliva Plath
A good marriage is that in which each appoints the other guardian of his solitude. Once the realization is accepted that even between the closest human beings infinite distances continue to exist, a wonderful living side by side can grow up, if they succeed in loving the distance between them which makes it possible for each to see the other whole and against a wide sky. Rainer Maria Rilke
I guess the only way to stop divorce is to stop marriage. Will Rogers
A bachelor never quite gets over the idea that he is a thing of beauty and a boy forever. Helen Rowland

Men are April when they woo, December when they wed. Maids are May when they are maids, but the sky changes when they are wives. William Shakespeare
Marriage resembles a pair of shears, so joined that they cannot be separated; often moving in opposite directions, yet always punishing any one who comes between them. Syndey Smith
As to marriage or celibacy, let a man take which course he will, he will be sure to repent. Socrates
Marriage: a community consisting of a master, a mistress, and two slaves - making in all two. Ambrose Bierce
Woe to the house where the hen crows and the rooster keeps still. Spanish Proverb
I've yet to be on a campus where most women weren't worrying about some aspect of combining marriage, children, and a career. I've yet to find one where many men were worrying about the same thing. Gloria Steinem
Under this window in stormy weather I marry this man and woman together; Let none but Him who rules the thunder Put this man and woman asunder. Jonathan Swift
God help the man who won't marry until he finds a perfect woman, and God help him still more if he finds her. Benjamin Tillett
Love seems the swiftest, but it is the slowest of all growths. No man or woman really knows what perfect love is until they have been married a quarter of a century. Mark Twain
There isn't a wife in the world who has not taken the exact measure of her husband, weighed him and settled him in her own mind, and knows him as well as if she had ordered him after designs and specifications of her own. Charles Dudley Warner
Men marry because they are tired; women because they are curious. Both are disappointed. Oscar Wilde
