Marriage Quotes

Welcome to my marriage quotes page. I personally believe that people should have the freedom to get married or to not be married. Society wants to make everyone the same and that is not realistic. I have respect for all couples whether they have chosen to be married or not.

• MARRIAGE QUOTE OF THE PAGE
  My wife has been my closest friend, my closest advisor. And ... she's not somebody who looks to the limelight, or even is wild about me being in politics. And that's a good reality check on me. When I go home, she wants me to be a good father and a good husband. And everything else is secondary to that.
  Barack Obama

  Barack Obama

  Friedrich Nietzsche


• We only regard those unions as real examples of love and real marriages in which a fixed and unalterable decision has been taken. If men or women contemplate an escape, they do not collect all their powers for the task. In none of the serious and important tasks of life do we arrange such a "getaway." We cannot love and be limited.
  Alfred Adler

• One of the first things a relationship therapist learns is that couples argue to burn up energy that could be used for something else. In fact, arguments often serve the purpose of using up energy, so that the couple do not have to take the courageous, creative leap into an unknown they fear. Arguing serves the function of being a zone of familiarity into which you can retreat when you are afraid of making a creative breakthrough.
  Gay Hendricks

• The friendship between a man and a woman which does not lead to marriage or desire for marriage may be a life long experience of the greatest value to themselves and to all their circle of acquaintance and of activity; but for this type of friendship both a rare man and a rare woman are needed. Perhaps it should be added that either the man or the woman thus deeply bound in lifelong friendship who seeks marriage must find a still rarer man or woman to wed, to make such a three cornered comradeship a permanent success.
  Anna Garlin Spencer


• If you want to sacrifice the admiration of many men for the criticism of one, go ahead, get married.
