Since I wrote to you last we have got our chapel beautifully lighted with gas and have had our anniversary.

Marriage is the most natural state of man, and... the state in which you will find solid happiness.

Marriage is a coming together for better or for worse, hopefully enduring, and intimate to the degree of being sacred.

Marriage is an alliance entered into by a man who can't sleep with the window shut, and a woman who can't sleep with the window open.

Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads, which sew people together through the years.

We are not the same persons this year as last nor are those we love. It is a happy chance if we, changing, continue to love a changed person.

There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage.

Why does a woman work ten years to change a man's habits and then complain that he's not the man she married?

I've been in love with the same woman for forty-one years. If my wife finds out, she'll kill me.

The bonds of matrimony are like any other bonds - they mature slowly.
