“If ever two were one, then surely we. If ever man were loved by wife, then thee.”

“If ever two were one, then surely we.If ever man were lov'd by wife, then thee;If ever wife was happy in a man,Compare with me, ye women, if you canI prize thy love more than whole mines of Gold.Or all the riches that the East doth hold.My love is such that rivers cannot quench,Nor ought but love from thee, give recompense.Thy love is such I can no way repay,The heavens reward thee manifold repay,Then while we live, in love let's so persevereThat when we live no more, we may live ever.”

“The best thing about being married and marriage is: when the two of you never feel that you are married or ever shall or ever were. You simply love one another.”

“When we were young his hands had been soft but now they were a man's hands, with rough palms and coarse fingertips, but they were still as careful as ever.”

“How could two people who were so in love not end up happily ever after? It had to work. Didn’t it?”

“If you were to ask me if I have ever loved a woman, I'd probably reply, "Two gallons of milk and a midget.”
