Marriage was
all a woman's idea and for man's acceptance of the pretty
yoke, it becomes us to be grateful.
-- Phyllis Mcginley
1905-1978, American Poet,
Author
Say what you
will, making marriage work is a woman's business. The
institution was invented to do her homage; it was contrived
for her protection. Unless she accepts it as such --as a
beautiful, bountiful, but quite unequal association --the
going will be hard indeed.
-- Phyllis Mcginley
1905-1978, American Poet,
Author
A successful
marriage requires falling in love many times, always with
the same person.

I've been
married three times -- and each time I married the right
person.

The
institution of marriage in all societies is a pattern within
which the strains put by civilization on males and females
alike must be resolved, a pattern within which men must
learn, in return for a variety of elaborate rewards, new
forms in which sexual spontaneity is still possible, and
women must learn to discipline their receptivity to a
thousand other considerations.
-- Margaret Mead
1901-1978, American
Anthropologist
For it is
mutual trust, even more than mutual interest that holds
human associations together. Our friends seldom profit us
but they make us feel safe. Marriage is a scheme to
accomplish exactly that same end.
-- H. L. Mencken
1880-1956, American Editor,
Author, Critic, Humorist
If I ever
marry it will be on a sudden impulse, as a man shoots
himself.

Whenever a
husband and wife begin to discuss their marriage they are
giving evidence at a coroner's inquest.
