Famous quotes containing the words married couples, married and/or couples:

    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)

    There’s nothing in the world like the devotion of a married woman. It’s a thing no married man knows anything about.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    Could that old god rise up again
    We’d drink a can or two,
    And out and lay our leadership
    On country and on town,
    Throw likely couples into bed
    And knock the others down.
    William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
