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.

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

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

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

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.

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

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