We live in grief for having left the womb for having left the teat then school then home. In my case it was leaving marriages and the death of my wife.
Crucial to understanding federalism in modern day America is the concept of mobility or 'the ability to vote with your feet.' If you don't support the death penalty and citizens packing a pistol - don't come to Texas. If you don't like medicinal marijuana and gay marriage don't move to California.
Even though people may be well known they hold in their hearts the emotions of a simple person for the moments that are the most important of those we know on earth: birth marriage and death.
Marriage is the death of hope.
I highly suggest marriage to all my friends who are dating.
I'm not cynical about marriage or romance. I enjoyed being married. And although being single was fun for a while there was always the risk of dating someone who'd owned a lunch box with my picture on it.
I always say now that I'm in my blonde years. Because since the end of my marriage all of my girlfriends have been blonde.
My mom and my dad were married 56 years and the fact that I reconciled with my dad I think made their marriage a little bit better as well.
The only day I remember of my parents' marriage was the day my dad walked out. As I stood there at five years old with my older sister and younger brother I knew that he was gone.
Nobody ever asks a father how he manages to combine marriage and a career.
Governments cannot make marriages or turn feckless individuals into responsible citizens. That needs another kind of change agent.
As somebody who in my second marriage insisted on a prenuptial agreement I can also testify that sometimes it is an act of love to chart the exit strategy before you enter the union in order to make sure that not only you but your partner as well knows that there will be no World War III should hearts and minds for any sad reason change.
A good marriage is one which allows for change and growth in the individuals and in the way they express their love.
They say marriage will change you but it didn't change me. Being in love changed me.
Marriage has no guarantees. If that's what you're looking for go live with a car battery.
I would absolutely definitely never sell my wedding pictures to a magazine. I'd like it to be a special day not a photo shoot. And once you've done that your marriage becomes everybody else's business.
Our marriage is between us. If we decide to continue being together or not it's our business.
I have a terrific marriage but unlike a lot of relationships where they ebb and flow no matter what happens you fall deeper and deeper in love every day. It's kind of the best thing that can happen to you. It's thrilling.
I think what makes our marriage work amid all the glare is that my husband is my best friend. He inspires everything in my life and enables me to do the best that I can. I want to hang out with him more than anyone.
I was always anti-marriage. I didn't understand monogamy. I couldn't figure out how that could last. And then I met Bryn and I started to understand the beauty of constancy and history and change and going on the roller coaster with someone - of having a partner in life.

Not every religion has to have St. Augustine's attitude to sex. Why even in our culture marriages are celebrated in a church everyone present knows what is going to happen that night but that doesn't prevent it being a religious ceremony.
Art is a marriage of the conscious and the unconscious.
All married couples should learn the art of battle as they should learn the art of making love. Good battle is objective and honest - never vicious or cruel. Good battle is healthy and constructive and brings to a marriage the principles of equal partnership.
