I do not believe that defending traditional marriage between one man and one woman excludes anybody or usurps anybody's civil rights and denies anybody their civil rights.

It is always incomprehensible to a man that a woman should ever refuse an offer of marriage.

Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance.

Like everything which is not the involuntary result of fleeting emotion but the creation of time and will, any marriage, happy or unhappy, is infinitely more interesting than any romance, however passionate.

Neither of us entered marriage thinking it wouldn't be a strain. Life has strains in it, and he's the person I want to strain with.

I liked the premise of this material. I love the marriage relationship. They kind of keep each other honest, and they enjoy each other's sense of humor. Kind of a sexy but boring relationship.

Marriage is... OK, it's rooted and grounded on love and attraction.

I love marriage. I failed at marriage, but I'd rather go into anything with gusto and fail than go into it half-assed.

Feminism is dated? Yes, for privileged women like my daughter and all of us here today, but not for most of our sisters in the rest of the world who are still forced into premature marriage, prostitution, forced labor - they have children that they don't want or they cannot feed.

Marriage is the death of hope.

I oppose any attempt to grant homosexual unions the same legal privileges that civil government affords to traditional marriage and family life.

Marriage hasn't been my thing. But gay people, knock yourselves out!

I was sent to a nice Church of England girls' school and at that time, after university, a woman was expected to become a teacher, a nurse or a missionary - prior to marriage.

Marriage is give and take. You'd better give it to her or she'll take it anyway.

Accident counts for as much in companionship as in marriage.
