Don't keep a man guessing too long - he's sure to find the answer somewhere else.

Before marriage, a girl has to make love to a man to hold him. After marriage, she has to hold him to make love to him.

Husbands are chiefly good as lovers when they are betraying their wives.

Marriage has no guarantees. If that's what you're looking for, go live with a car battery.

I haven't spoken to my wife in years-I didn't want to interrupt her.

It may be the cock that crows, but it is the hen that lays the eggs.

The value of marriage is not that adults produce children but that children produce adults.

The difficulty with marriage is that we fall in love with a personality, but must live with a character.

You never really know a man until you have divorced him.

Husbands are like fires - they go out when unattended.

A man in love is incomplete until he is married. Then he's finished.

I know nothing about sex because I was always married.

Marriage is popular because it combines the maximum of temptation with the maximum of opportunity.

This is my rule of married life: it is better to be happy than to be right.

A woman may be married by four qualifications: one on account of her money; another, on account of the nobility of her pedigree; another on account of her beauty; the fourth, on account of her virtue.

That married couples can live together day after day is a miracle the Vatican has overlooked.

Let us now set forth one of the fundamental truths about marriage: the wife is in charge.

We really have to understand the person we want to love. If our love is only a will to possess, it is not love. If we only think of ourselves, if we know only our own needs and ignore the needs of the other person, we cannot love.

Love is blind, but marriage restores its sight.

It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.

We only regard those unions as real examples of love and real marriages in which a fixed and unalterable decision has been taken. If men or women contemplate an escape, they do not collect all their powers for the task. In none of the serious and important tasks of life do we arrange such a "getaway." We cannot love and be limited.

Marriage is not a ritual or an end. It is a long, intricate, intimate dance together and nothing matters more than your own sense of balance and your choice of partner.
