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)

    “A marriage is no amusement but a solemn act, and generally a sad one.”
    —Victoria (1819–1901)
