I have assembled some quotes on the subject of marriage for you to peruse. There are some beautiful pearls of wisdom here. Enjoy!

Ann Landers:

All married couples should learn the art of battle as they should learn the art of making love. Good battle is objective and honest–never vicious or cruel. Good battle is healthy and constructive, and brings to a marriage the principle of equal partnership.

Ann Landers Says Truth Is Stranger…, 1968

Homer:

There is nothing nobler or more admirable than when two people who see eye to eye keep house as man and wife, confounding their enemies and delighting their friends.

Mohandas K. Gandhi:

I first learned the concepts of non-violence in my marriage.

Mark Twain:

Love seems the swiftest, but it is the slowest of all growths. No man or woman really knows what perfect love is until they have been married a quarter of a century.

A good marriage is one which allows for change and growth in the individuals and in the way they express their love.

Friedrich Nietzsche:

It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.

Leo Tolstoy:

What counts in making a happy marriage is not so much how compatible you are, but how you deal with incompatibility.

Benjamin Franklin:

The happy state of Matrimony is, undoubtedly, the surest and most lasting foundation

of comfort and love . . . the cause of all good order in the world, and what alone

preserves it from the utmost confusion . . .

Proverbs 18:22:

He who finds a wife finds what is good.

Aesop:

Union gives strength.
