Famous quotes containing the words marriage and, marriage and/or family:

    Marriage and deathless friendship, both should be inviolable and sacred: two great creative passions, separate, apart, but complementary: the one pivotal, the other adventurous: the one, marriage, the centre of human life; and the other, the leap ahead.
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    Honor, riches, marriage blessing,
    Long continuance, and increasing,
    Hourly joys be still upon you!
    Juno sings her blessings on you.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    For most women who are considering it, single motherhood is not their first choice, but it’s not their last one either. They would prefer a husband in their family, but they’d rather have a family without one than no family at all.
    —Anne Cassidy. “Every Child Should Have a Father But....,” McCall’s (March 1985)
