“A perfectly happy marriage? There is no such thing. There are strong marriages that can survive problems, but happiness is such a brief condition, interrupted by difficulties and plain, boring routine.”
“The marriage partner is not really the problem. No other person can ultimately make you happy. You must learn how to be happy within yourself.”
“Thing in good marriage is not happiness but stabilty .”
“All marriages are happy. It's trying to live together afterwards that causes all the problems.”
“I have known many happy marriages, but never a compatible one. The whole aim of marriage is to fight through and survive the instant when incompatibility becomes unquestionable. For a man and a woman, as such, are incompatible.”
“... in marriage the great thing was love, and that with love one would always be happy, for happiness rests only on oneself.”
