The deal is: most men just want to marry someone who is nice to them.

I mean, I'm married first of all to one of, if not the most wonderful women in the world. She is everything - funny, attractive, hard-working, she has integrity, she loves me to bits.

Nothing flatters a man as much as the happiness of his wife; he is always proud of himself as the source of it.

Happiness in marriage is entirely a matter of chance.

There is nothing like a good dose of another woman to make a man appreciate his wife.

A man would always wish to give a woman a better home than the one he takes her from; and he who can do it, where there is no doubt of her regard, must, I think, be the happiest of mortals.

Only as far as a man is happily married to himself is he fit for married life and family life in general.
