Marriage
Sophia established a close relationship with her half-brother, George Louis, but his mother, Electress Sophia asserted in that, 'to her certain knowledge', Countess Sophia was not one of George Louis' mistresses. In 1701, she married Johann Adolf, Baron von Kielmansegg (1668–1717), Deputy Master of the Horse to George Louis and they had three sons and two daughters, the eldest of whom, Charlotte (1703–1782), married Emanuel Howe, 2nd Viscount Howe.

Famous quotes containing the word marriage:
“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 (b. 1918)
“We lov’d, and we lov’d, as long as we could,
Till our love was lov’d out in us both;
But our marriage is dead, when the pleasure is fled:
‘Twas pleasure first made it an oath.”
—John Dryden (1631–1700)
“Marriage is the clue to human life, but there is no marriage apart from the wheeling sun and the nodding earth, from the straying of the planets and the magnificence of the fixed stars.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
