Marriage is the most natural state of man, and... the state in which you will find solid happiness. Benjamin Franklin on marriage
I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. I am not in favor of gay marriage. But when you start playing around with constitutions, just to prohibit somebody who cares about another person, it just seems to me that's not what America's about. Usually, our constitutions expand liberties, they don't contract them. Barack Obama on marriage
When people get married because they think it's a long-time love affair, they'll be divorced very soon, because all love affairs end in disappointment. But marriage is a recognition of a spiritual identity. Joseph Campbell on marriage

The details surrounding both my marriage and subsequent filing for divorce are private, and I had hoped to keep them that way for the sake of my family. Eminem on marriage

Marriage is good enough for the lower classes: they have facilities for desertion that are denied to us. George Bernard Shaw on marriage
There is no subject on which more dangerous nonsense is talked and thought than marriage. George Bernard Shaw on marriage
I'm 0 for 3 with marriage - the scoreboard doesn't lie, never has. So what we all have is a marriage of the heart. To sully or contaminate or radically disrespect this union with a shameful contract is something that I will leave to the amateurs and the Bible grippers. Charlie Sheen on marriage
I tried marriage. I'm 0 for 3 with the marriage thing. So, being a ballplayer - I believe in numbers. I'm not going 0 for 4. I'm not wearing a golden sombrero. Charlie Sheen on marriage
Friendship is two-sided. It isn't a friend just because someone's doing something nice for you. That's a nice person. There's friendship when you do for each other. It's like marriage - it's two-sided. John Wooden on marriage

Marriage is like life - it is a field of battle, not a bed of roses. Robert Louis Stevenson on marriage
