When talking about marriage, author and comedian Rita Rudner quipped, “It’s so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.” Below, are 10 more quotes on what it means to be married.
- “A great marriage is not when the ‘perfect couple’ comes together. It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.” ― Dave Meurer
- “A happy marriage is the union of two good forgivers.” ― Robert Quillen
- “Happy is the man who finds a true friend, and far happier is he who finds that true friend in his wife.” ― Franz Schubert
- “The real act of marriage takes place in the heart, not in the ballroom or church or synagogue. It’s a choice you make – not just on your wedding day, but over and over again – and that choice is reflected in the way you treat your husband or wife.” ― Barbara De Angelis
- “A good husband makes a good wife.” ― John Florio
- “Some people ask the secret of our long marriage. We take time to go to a restaurant two times a week. A little candlelight, dinner, soft music and dancing. She goes Tuesdays, I go Fridays.” ― Henny Youngman
- “I’m about to make a wild, extreme and severe relationship rule: the word busy is a load of crap and is most often used by assholes. The word “busy” is the relationship Weapon of Mass Destruction. It seems like a good excuse, but in fact in every silo you uncover, all you’re going to find is a man who didn’t care enough to call. Remember men are never too busy to get what they want.” ― Greg Behrendt
- “I know enough to know that no woman should ever marry a man who hated his mother.” ― Martha Gellhorn
- “Marriage is an alliance entered into by a man who can’t sleep with the window shut, and a woman who can’t sleep with the window open.” ― George Bernard Shaw
- “Let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.”― Kahlil Gibran
