Marriage brings one into fatal connection with custom and tradition, and traditions and customs are like the wind and weather, altogether incalculable.
I think marriage is one of those things that writers draw on, one of those emotional reservoirs that go way back.

The great secret of a successful marriage is to treat all disasters as incidents and none of the incidents as disasters.
When there's a war, people get married.
