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

That there's no more important decision in life than who you marry.

The concept of two people living together for 25 years without a serious dispute suggests a lack of spirit only to be admired in sheep.

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

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

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

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

Never tell a secret to a bride or a groom wait until they have been married longer.

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

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.
