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

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

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

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

One should believe in marriage as in the immortality of the soul.

Married people from my generation are like an endangered species!

You marry somebody you love everything about them. You grow to learn about them. You never learn everything.

So I think you have to marry for the right reasons, and marry the right person.

A wedding anniversary is the celebration of love, trust, partnership, tolerance and tenacity. The order varies for any given year.

More marriages might survive if the partners realized that sometimes the better comes after the worse.
