Marriage with peace is the world's paradise. - Saint Aurelius Augustine (Augustine of Hippo) If you will learn the seriousness of life, and its beauty also, live for your husband; make him happy. - Fredrika Bremer Husband and wife have so many interests in common that when they have jogged through the ups and downs of life a sufficient time, the leash which at first galled often grows easy and familiar. - Edward George Earle Lytton Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton Rarest of all things on earth is the union in which both, by their contrasts, make harmonious their blending; each supplying the defects of the helpmate, and completing, by fusion, one strong human soul. - Edward George Earle Lytton Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton The band of conjugal love is adamantine. - Robert Burton He said--and his observation was just--that a man on whom heaven hath bestowed a beautiful wife should be as cautious of the men he brings home to his house as careful of observing the female friends with whom his spouse converses abroad. - Cervantes (Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra) The character of a woman rapidly develops after marriage, and sometimes seems to change, when in fact it is only complete. - Benjamin Disraeli, 1st Earl of Beaconsfield No unity can last, in married life, unless the fellowship of hearts is accompanied by the fellowship of minds. As a woman loses the charms of her youth, her husband must perceive that her mind is developing, and love must be perpetuated by esteem. - Bishop Felix Antoine Philliert Dupanloup The early months of marriage often are times of critical tumult,--whether that of a shrimp pool or of deeper water,--which afterwards subside into cheerful peace. - George Eliot (pseudonym of Mary Ann Evans Cross) There is a French saying: "Love is the dawn of marriage, and marriage is the sunset of love." - J. de Finod Marriage is not, like the hill of Olympus, wholly clear, without clouds. - Thomas Fuller (1) She is not a brilliant woman; she is not even an intellectual one; but there is such a thing as a genius for affection, and she has it. It has been good for her husband that he married her. - Helen Hunt (Helen Hunt Jackson) The very difference of character in marriage produces a harmonious combination. - Washington Irving If a superior woman marry a vulgar or inferior man, he makes her miserable, but seldom governs her mind or vulgarizes her nature; and if there be love on his side, the chances are that in the end she will elevate and refine him. - Mrs. Anna Brownell Jameson We must be careful that the bond of wedlock does not become bondage. - Mrs. Anna Brownell Jameson I believe it will be found that those who marry late are best pleased with their children; and those who marry early, with their partners. - Samuel Johnson (a/k/a Dr. Johnson) ("The Great Cham of Literature") Mutual complacency is the atmosphere of conjugal love. - Samuel Johnson (a/k/a Dr. Johnson) ("The Great Cham of Literature") Wedlock joins nothing, if it joins not hearts. - James Sheridan Knowles Since all the maids are good and lovable, from whence come the evil wives? - Charles Lamb (used pseudonym Elia) For any man to match above his rank is but to sell his liberty. - Philip Massinger The treasures of the deep are not so precious as are the concealed comforts of a man locked up in woman's love. - Thomas Middleton As soon as a woman becomes ours, we are no longer theirs. - Michel Eyquem de Montaigne The land of marriage has this peculiarity: that strangers are desirous of inhabiting it, while its natural inhabitants would willingly be banished from thence. - Michel Eyquem de Montaigne To protect ourselves against the storms of passion, marriage with a woman is a harbor in the tempest; but with a bad woman it is a tempest in the harbor. - Jean-Antoine Petit-Senn Men who marry wives very much superior to themselves are not so truly husbands to their wives as they are unawares made slaves to their position. - Plutarch Displaying page 1 of 2 for this topic: Next >> [1] 2
