Why does a woman work ten years to change a man's habits and then complain that he's not the man she married?

Mom and Dad were married 64 years. And if you wondered what their secret was you could have asked the local florist - because every day Dad gave Mom a rose which he put on her bedside table. That's how she found out what happened on the day my father died - she went looking for him because that morning there was no rose.

The amazing thing is that I'm sane. I'm not bitter. I'm not drugged out. I'm not broke. I'm still married to the same guy. My children don't hate me.

I've had four amazing men in my life very strong powerful wonderful men. I certainly will have a relationship with someone but I don't think I will get married again.

I am married to the most amazing generous and beautiful human being and it has been hard on him because from the outside if you look at it it's just all about me.

I'll always be this crazy fun person but when it's time to get married I'm going to be an amazing wife.

There was once a caustic comment from someone suggesting I was breeding a new race. Fans from different countries have married amazing things like that. I've been to some of the weddings. I went to one here the other day a pagan ceremony.

When it's over I want to say: all my life I was a bride married to amazement. I was the bridegroom taking the world into my arms.

I'm throwing myself back in because I like being married. I don't want to end this whole fabulous journey alone. I want someone by my side who I love and who loves me. I've finally found somebody who's up to the task of being my wife because I'm very high maintenance.

I've been left alone even by the paparazzi because what sells is sex and scandal. Absent that they really don't have much interest in you. I'm still married still working still happy.

I grew up in a very large family in a very small house. I never slept alone until after I was married.

I have noticed... that men usually leave married women alone and are inclined to treat all wives with respect. This is no great credit to married women.

I would rather be a beggar and single than a queen and married.

I would be married but I'd have no wife I would be married to a single life.

The desire to get married which - I regret to say I believe is basic and primal in women - is followed almost immediately by an equally basic and primal urge - which is to be single again.

Any young man who is unmarried at the age of twenty one is a menace to the community.

I also find it interesting that a lot of people in their 30s are not married and don't have kids. There are a lot of people in this age bracket that are out there dating and trying to find love. And I never thought that at my age I would be.

Even in this day and age if you're not married there are people who are like 'Awww! Don't worry it'll happen for you someday.'

My parents got married late and they had kids late so I never felt a social or cultural thing to be married or pregnant or a homeowner by a certain age.

My grandparents got married at a very young age and a lot of what I think about marriage is based on their relationship.

My grandparents got married at a very young age and a lot of what I think about marriage is based on their relationship. I watched them over the years and saw how they dealt with everything together as a team.

What I really tried to do with Helen was make her show this sad side of her. She was married off at 16 was so young and living in this castle that can't leave because of how she looks and married to a man she hates and three times her age.

I think women get caught up too much in having a plan - 'I'm going to get married at this age I'm going to have a kid at this age' - and then they just try to find a guy who will fit into that picture. I don't want my life to be based on that.

At my age no one is married no one has kids no one has a career.
