Quotes reflections and thoughts on Marriage
69About marriage and happinnes
Once married it is not rare that people start to wonder whether their single friends are having more fun and sex than them. They can imagine wild single parties where they are the centre of attention. They start to worry that opportunity is passing them by and they are missing out. What most people don’t remember is all those single nights that they spent in pyjamas eating from a can in front of the TV!

About romance, wedding anniversaries and birthdays
The vast majority of men
haven’t a clue about romance. If a woman
asks a man to show more affection, he will wash her car or do the dishes. Very few men will understand that what she
wants is to be romanced. The problem is
that most married men are too worried about making ends meet to have time to
worry about romance. Men forget that
most women are always looking for romance and love.
“The best way to remember your wife's birthday is to forget it once.” -H.V. Prochnow
“Never forget that a woman is a romantic. She enjoys wine, flowers and chocolate. Let her know that you too remember these things… by speaking of them occasionally” Woody Allen
Who’s the boss? Does equality really exist in marriage?
“I have learned that only two things are necessary to keep one's wife happy. First, let her think she's having her own way. And second, let her have it.” -Lyndon B. Johnson
"A man's wife has more
power over him than the state has."
-Ralph Waldo Emerson
“My husband and I divorced over religious differences. He thought he was God, and I didn't.” –Unknown

Originally intended by some for the protection of the intended bride, or by some to herald the dynastic union of two families, this custom has become ingrained in our western society as the ultimate expression of romantic love...and what could be more romantic than the pledging o - 2 years ago

I enjoyed this read, especially the marriage quotes. It's not all doom and gloom, obviously finding the perfect partner is so important. One really has to work at a marriage to keep it alive and fulfilling. To be so in love and to have found that perfect guy, I guess I am so lucky.
You are very lucky and clever to admit it and work towards keeping your relationship working acaetnna.
The marriage quotes were funny, but a little depressing. I've been married over two years now and it only keeps getting better. Of course, we had a very rough start but we're still in love and happy together! We even have kids and absolutely love the little additions to our life. Too bad the ones making those quotes don't experience the same. Of course, we do yearn for some time together, but I think we do a pretty good job of working it in.
