I found these wonderful quotes about marriage on http://www.smartmarriages.com/
I didn't marry you because you were perfect. I didn't even marry you because I loved you. I married you because you gave me a promise. That promise made up for your faults.And the promise I gave you made up for mine. Two imperfectpeople got married and it was the promise that made the marriage.And when our children were growing up, it wasn't a house thatprotected them; and it wasn't our love that protected them - it was thatpromise.
They say it takes a village to raise a child. That may be the case,but the truth is that it takes a lot of solid, stable marriages to create a village.Diane Sollee, smartmarriages.com
What counts in making a happy marriage is not so much howcompatible you are, but how you deal with incompatibility.Leo Tolstoy
The most important marriage skill is listening to your partner in a way thatthey can't possibly doubt that you love them.Diane Sollee, smartmarriages.com
One advantage of marriage, it seems to me, is that when you fallout of love with each other, it keeps you together until maybeyou fall in love again.Judith Viorst
Or, put another way, and 'borrowed' from Pittman:Why is it that people get married?Because we need a witness to our lives.There’s a billion people on the planet.What does any one life really mean?But in a marriage, you’re promising to care about everything…The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things,All of it… all the time, every day.You’re saying “Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it.Your life will not go unwitnessed - because I will be your witness.”Wife in the movie, "Shall We Dance?" 2004
Commitment has kind eyes. He wears sturdy shoes.Everything is vivid when he is around. It is wonderful to sitand have lunch in his gardens around harvest time. Youcan taste in the vegetables that the soil has been cared for.J. Ruth Gendler
Ultimately the bond of all companionship, whether in marriage or in friendship,is conversation.Oscar Wilde
When there is love in a marriage, there is harmony in the home; when there is harmony in the home, there is contentment in the community; when there is contentment in the community, there is propsertiy in the nation; when there is prosperity in the nation, there is peace in the world.Chinese proverb frequently quoted by David and Vera Mace
