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

Married people from my generation are like an endangered species!

Love is not weakness. It is strong. Only the sacrament of marriage can contain it.

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

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

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

Love grows more tremendously full, swift, poignant, as the years multiply.

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.

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

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