God, the best maker of all marriages,
Combine your hearts into one.
William Shakespeare
Marriage is the perfection of what love aimed at, ignorant of what it sought.
Emerson
Marriage is an Athenic weaving together of families, of two souls with their individual fates and destinies, of time and eternity–everyday life married to the timeless mysteries of the soul.
Thomas Moore
In all of the wedding cake, hope is the sweetest of plums.
Douglas Jerrold
Marriage is love personified.
Phoenix Flame
When you make a sacrifice in marriage, you’re sacrificing not to each other but to unity in a relationship.

Chinese Proverb
There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company that a good marriage.
Martin Luther
A good marriage is that in which each appoints the other guardian of his solitude.
Rainer Maria Rilke
One should believe in marriage as in the immortality of the soul.

Marriage is not a simple love affair, it’s an ordeal, and the ordeal is the sacrifice of ego to a relationship in which two have become one.
Joseph Campbell
True it is that marriages be done in heaven and performed on earth.
William Painter
Marriage is our last, best chance to grow up.

Love seems the swiftest, but it is the slowest of all growths. No man or woman really knows what perfect love is until they have been married a quarter of a century.

A man doesn’t own his marriage, he is only a steward of his wife’s love.
Ed Cole
