Famous quotes containing the words married and/or couples:

    He knows he’s kinder than the run of men.
    Better than married ought to be as good
    As married....
    Robert Frost (1874–1963)

    How it is I know not; but there is no place like a bed for confidential disclosures between friends. Man and wife, they say, there open the very bottom of their souls to each other; and some old couples often lie and chat over old times till nearly morning. Thus, then, in our hearts’ honeymoon, lay I and Queequeg—a cosy, loving pair.
    Herman Melville (1819–1891)
