We make no greater voluntary choice in this life than the selection of a marriage partner. This decision can bring eternal happiness and joy. To find sublime fulfillment in marriage, both partners need to be fully committed to the marriage.
As the wedded pair have given each other power over their bodies, it would be a grave sin for one to refuse either altogether or for a considerable time the fulfilment of the marriage debt.
The first condition of marriage between a man and a woman is that both must belong to each other totally.
Marriage, if one will face the truth, is an evil, but a necessary evil.
In marriage, compromise nurtures the relationship.
Marriage is an exercise in torture.
Marriage resembles a pair of shears, so joined that they cannot be separated; often moving in opposite directions, yet always punishing anyone who comes between them.

To us marriage is first, everything else is second.
There exists no culture in which adultery is unknown, no cultural device or code that extinguishes philandering.
