A happy marriage is a new beginning of life, a new starting point for happiness and usefulness. Wedded love is founded on esteem. I have spread my dreams beneath your feet; Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue. Marriage is the perfection of what love aimed at, ignorant of what it sought. - Ralph Waldo Emerson To have and to hold from this day forward, for better or worse, for richer for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish to death do us part.

He is the half part of a blessed man Heaven give you many, many merry days. A good marriage is that in which each appoints the other guardian of his solitude. We come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly. Hail, wedded love, mysterious law; true source of human happiness.

“Fifty-fifty marriages are impossibility. They do not work. They cannot work. In marriage someone has to be the final decision maker. Someone has to delegate responsibility, and God has ordained that this should be the husband. ” ~ Wayne Mack Marriage has in it less of beauty, but more of safety, than the single life; it hath not more ease, but less danger; it is more merry and more sad; it is fuller of sorrows and fuller of joys; it lies under more burdens, but is supported by all the strengths of love and charity; and those burdens are delightful. ~ Jeremy Taylor
A married man falling into misfortune is more apt to retrieve his situation in the world than a single one, chiefly because his spirits are soothed and retrieved by domestic endearments, and his self-respect kept alive by finding that although all abroad be darkness and humiliation, yet there is a little world of love at home over which he is a monarch. ~ Jeremy Taylor A good wife is heaven's last, best gift to man, - his gem of many virtues, his casket of jewels; her voice is sweet music, her smiles his brightest day, her kiss the guardian of his innocence, her arms the pale of his safety, her industry his surest wealth, her economy his safest steward, her lips his faithful counselors, her bosom the softest pillow of his cares. Every man rejoices twice when he has a partner of his joy; a friend shares my sorrow and makes it but a moiety, but he swells my joy and makes it double. ~ Jeremy Taylor
