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

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.

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

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

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.

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

Married people from my generation are like an endangered species!

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

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