Marriage is the highest state of friendship. If happy, it lessens our cares by dividing them, at the same time that it doubles our pleasures by mutual participation.

The marriage state was designed to complete the sum of human happiness in this life. It sometimes proves otherwise, but this is owing to the parties themselves, who either rush into it without due consideration or fail in point of discretion in their conduct towards each other afterwards.

For many, many people, getting married is one of the most important things they will ever do in the pursuit of happiness.

Marriage is a commitment for life. It is a permanent, lifelong relationship.

Marriage is an indissoluble state of life wherein a man and a woman agree to give each other power over their bodies for the begetting, birth, and upbringing of offspring.

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 about love, but it is not first and foremost about love. First and foremost, marriage is about continuity and transmission.

Marriage is wild. I thought it was this perfect land of happiness and joy. Wrong! After you say you do, you don't for a long time.

For me, personally, marriage is a man and a woman living together.

A good marriage is different to a happy marriage.
