I find, by experience, that the mind and the body are more than married, for they are most intimately united; and when one suffers, the other sympathizes.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I believe that if man and woman cherish the same ideals and think alike, then the marriage can be complementary to each other's work instead of being a hindrance.
Every single person suffers; every marriage has some major battles. Life pulls you in different directions. But if you try, and you're lucky, you can find your way back to each other.
Marriage, like everything else in the world, is holy or unholy depending on the purpose the mind ascribes to it.
The married are those who have taken the terrible risk of intimacy and, having taken it, know life without intimacy to be impossible.
To a shameful extent, the charm of marriage boils down to how unpleasant it is to be alone.
Marriage is nature's way of keeping us from fighting with strangers.
To marry unequally is to suffer equally.
I deeply believe that marriage is by nature between a man and a woman, but that conviction does not prevent me from recognising that other forms of affective relationships exist.
A married couple are well suited when both partners usually feel the need for a quarrel at the same time.
Each marriage has to be judged separately, and we never know what's going on in another person's marriage.
