My parents' long and happy marriage was a great ideal to live up to but a tough one.

I love being in a relationship but marriage isn't for me.

I've never understood what the upside of marriage would be for me personally.

More than 1.1 million taxpayers in Pennsylvania will enjoy a lower tax rate more than 1.4 million married couples will benefit from the reduction in the marriage penalty and more than 1.1 million parents will have the advantage of an increased child tax credit.

Writing and singing does give me some kind of release from the demons of my past it is a therapy of sorts but to be honest my marriage played a more important role in the acceptance of myself than performance has ever done.

Public-opinion polls show that Americans split about evenly on civil unions. But when the words 'gay marriage' are presented they break 3-to-1 against it.

No candidate can win a presidential race advocating gay marriage and opposing the military action in Iraq.

In those days the late 1970s one of the leading politicians was a soon-to-be uncle by marriage of Arnold Schwarzenegger named Ted Kennedy.

I remember driving home one evening while they were reviewing the papers on the radio. One of the articles was about me separating from my wife. It's a weird thing to listen to a news report about the break-up of your marriage.

I had only two offers of marriage in my life and I refused both.

I know one husband and wife who whatever the official reasons given to the court for the break up of their marriage were really divorced because the husband believed that nobody ought to read while he was talking and the wife that nobody ought to talk while she was reading.

Marriage if one will face the truth is an evil but a necessary evil.

I have no useful theories about love and marriage.

It wasn't a good idea to work on 'Naked' in the first months of a marriage. I was living apart from my wife in a flat overflowing with books I was reading for the part.

It couldn't be a simpler answer. Marriage doesn't really mean anything to me. I feel like in many ways marriage is more for the families of the couple than for the people involved so I don't gravitate to it.

I have a lady she's a great lady. I love her a lot she loves me. We're on the same page. Whenever that day happens when we're not on the same page we'll move forward with it. We're interested in having our lives be our lives right now and not a third person's vis-a-vis marriage and whatever that means.

I have been doing marriage counseling for about 15 years and I realized that what makes one person feel loved doesn't make another person feel loved.

I'm not that big a fan of marriage as an institution and I don't know why women need to have children to be seen as complete human beings.

No marriage can stand up under the strain of incessant association.

I've always wanted to be independent and answer for myself. That probably is the part of me I would class to be feminist. I'd like to have children marriage I have a bit of an issue with.
