Marriage Quotes - A journey is like marriage
“There
are guys who grow up thinking they'll settle down some distant time in the
future, and there are guys who are ready for marriage as soon as they meet the
right person. The former bore me, mainly because they're pathetic; and the
latter, frankly are hard to find.”

“When
a man loves a woman, he has to become worthy of her. The higher her virtue, the
more noble her character, the more devoted she is to truth, justice, goodness,
the more a man has to aspire to be worthy of her. The history of civilization
could actually be written in terms of the level of its women.”

Fulton J. Sheen, Life Is Worth Living
“What
do you think my chances might be of finding a soul mate in the group of you?
I'll be lucky if I can just find someone who'll be able to stand me for the
rest of our lives. What if I've already sent her home because I was relying on
some sort of spark I didn't feel? What if she's waiting to leave me at the
first sign of adversity? What if I don't find anyone at all? What do I do then,
America?”

“You
don't know when you're twenty-three.
You
don't know what it really means to crawl into someone else's life and stay
there. You can't see all the ways you're going to get tangled, how you're going
to bond skin to skin. How the idea of separating will feel in five years, in
ten - in fifteen. When Georgie thought about divorce now, she imagined lying
side by side with Neal on two operating tables while a team of doctors tried to
unthread their vascular systems.
She
didn't know at twenty-three.”

Rainbow Rowell, Landline
“I
want to try with someone who loves me enough to try with me. I want to grow old
looking at the same face every morning. I want to grow old looking at the same
face every night at the dinner table. I want to be one of those old couples you
see still holding hands and laughing after fifty years of marriage. That's what
I want. I want to be someone's forever.”

“Patience
gives your spouse permission to be human. It understands that everyone fails.
When a mistake is made, it chooses to give them more time that they deserve to
correct it. It gives you the ability to hold on during the rough times in your
relationship rather than bailing out under the pressure.”
―
Stephen Kendrick, The Love Dare
“Your

Down." If anything your correcting a mistake that was hurting four people,
you and the person your with, not to mention the two people who you were
destined to meet.”

will be a new piece of the plot. ”
