I know I'm guilty of and I think a lot of people are guilty of sort of getting starry-eyed with love and sort of looking over the bad things and keep going and you don't really prepare for how much work marriage really is.

You're not just going out there maybe sacrificing your own life. There's also sacrifices still going on at home. You can serve in the military and have a good marriage but you just need to be aware of it so you can take those steps to take care of it.

I used to have a theory actually that if you've had a good childhood a good marriage and a little bit of money in the bank you're going to make a lousy comedian.

I figure no matter how old you are it's always going to be your first marriage and no life experience is going to make you a better judge of who you should marry.

There are going to be peaks and valleys in everything - in your marriage in your job in your life. So just enjoy the peaks and ride out the valleys. Just try not to do anything too rash.

You never go into a marriage expecting to get divorced. You go into a marriage expecting it's going to last forever and you have a lot of ways you dream about the future. You have all these expectations and then you have to adjust those expectations and it can be a very unnerving confusing time.

Marriage is overdone. As long as there are people people are going to find it interesting.

Each marriage has to be judged separately and we never know what's going on in another person's marriage.

If it's not working before you get married marriage isn't going to fix it.

There is a big misconception about arranged marriage. Yes it can mean that you meet someone and then have to marry them but this was my mother saying 'I'm going to introduce you to so-and-so - If you don't like them fair enough.'

I honestly believe you can never tell if a relationship is going to last. In my own marriage which is going on 14 years I don't think of it as 'I'm going to be with this person forever.' Instead I think of more like 'I'll probably be with this person for the next six weeks. Then I'll re-evaluate.'

I am hoping this is my year to have children. I understand that I am possibly more European in my views of marriage. I am not going to say I'm not going to get married but it's not my priority.

I do support a constitutional amendment on marriage between a man and a woman but I would not be going into the states to overturn their state law.

What I've learned about marriage: You need to have each other's back you have to be a kind of team going through life.

For the life of me I don't understand what honest motive there is in putting this in front of this body to philosophically debate marriage on a constitutional amendment that is not going to happen and which is enormously divisive in all of our communities.

I'm extremely fascinated by marriage. I want to study marriage. I want to learn about it. I want to know it. I want to figure out whether or not I want to do it. I'm not just going to leap into it because that's not good for anybody.

If one is going to change the definition of marriage to be quote 'same sex ' then there is absolutely no valid argument constitutionally or rhetorically you can make against multiple people getting married. These are radical social changes.

I should have been out there having a wild time like all the other girls my age but I wasn't. I was going home every night to what was initially a very happy marriage.

There were times after my marriage ended where you know I really felt like I was at the bottom of a mountain there was a great big fog up there and I'm never going to cross to the other side.

Men go into marriage with virtually no expectations whatsoever. Ten years later the men are delightfully surprised to find out that it's actually kind of nice and the women have sort of had to take a nose dive from what they thought it was going to be.

Marriage is a big deal but who's to say I'm not going to pull a Vegas and get married to see what it's like for a minute?

I suffered I really suffered with all three of my husbands. And I tried damn hard with all three starting each marriage certain that it was going to last until the end of my life. Yet none of them lasted more than a year or two.

I think even in a good marriage especially if you stay together long enough there are going to be events that happen.

Gay marriage is going to happen. It must.
