I never thought I'd spend all my life with Gary. I suppose I was quite cynical about marriage. But with Jude, I knew right from the beginning: there was an electricity I'd never felt before. It was so easy, we talked for hours. It was a relief, really.

There were many women around. We all had a relationship with each other that was very strong. And all of our minds kind of hooked up. We rejected the society. We rejected marriage because we didn't like what our parents had.

I very much feel that marriage is a sacrament and that sacrament should extend... to that legal entity of a union between what traditionally in our Western values has been defined as between a man and a woman.

Either marriage is a destiny, I believe, or there is no sense in it at all, it's a piece of humbug.

I support gay marriage. I believe they have a right to be as miserable as the rest of us.

I'm not a marriage expert, quite clearly.

Marriage is the most natural state of man, and... the state in which you will find solid happiness.

Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, half shut afterwards.

Where there's marriage without love, there will be love without marriage.

Marriage is a financial contract; I have enough contracts already.

For the life of me, I don't understand what honest motive there is in putting this in front of this body to philosophically debate marriage on a constitutional amendment that is not going to happen, and which is enormously divisive in all of our communities.

Any sex outside of the marriage bond between a man and a woman is violating God's law.

We will see a breakdown of the family and family values if we decide to approve same-sex marriage, and if we decide to establish homosexuality as an acceptable alternative lifestyle with all the benefits that go with equating it with the heterosexual lifestyle.

This is the kind of situation that can tear people apart. It tears at the fabric of your soul and can certainly tear at your marriage and ours has gotten only stronger.

Nobody ever asks a father how he manages to combine marriage and a career.
