“The failure of so many marriages is due to their getting married out of animal passion and not out of love.”

“I like marriage, family life and I wish to get married again. But opting out of an unhappy marriage was a duty toward myself & my future.”

“Americans, who make more of marrying for love than any other people, also break up more of their marriages, but the figure reflects not so much the failure of love as the determination of people not to live without it.”

“I married him against all evidence. I married him believing that marriage doesn't work, that love dies, that passion fades, and in so doing I became the kind of romantic only a cynic is truly capable of being.”

“For many, the point of marriage isn't so much to be in love as to stop having to think of love.”

“When I get married I'm going to make the marriage work. Getting married is forever, no matter what my spouse does.”
