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

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

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

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

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

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

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.
