Marriage is an institution and that's where a couple finish up.

I think there is some credibility to the notion that marriage is an institution. It meant something very different hundreds of years ago when it became the norm for people to go off and pair.

A lot of people seem to want to make the institution of marriage substitute for a real relationship.

The institution of marriage, if you look at it over many centuries, has come and gone.

Marriage is a core institution of societies throughout the world and throughout history. It's something that has provided permanence and stability for our very social structure.

Marriage is a great institution.

Marriage is a wonderful institution, but who wants to live in an institution?

Marriage is a great institution, but I'm not ready for an institution.
