In marriage do thou be wise: prefer the person before money, virtue before beauty, the mind before the body; then thou hast a wife, a friend, a companion, a second self.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
It behoves thee to love God wisely; and that may thou not do but if thou be wise.
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.
Marriage, in its truest sense, is a partnership of equals, with neither exercising dominion over the other, but, rather, with each encouraging and assisting the other in whatever responsibilities and aspirations he or she might have.
There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage.
When you make the sacrifice in marriage, you're sacrificing not to each other but to unity in a relationship.
Whoever marries simply for himself will make a mistake; but whoever loves a woman so well that he says, 'I will make her happy,' makes no mistake. And so with the woman who says, 'I will make him happy.'
When two people marry they become in the eyes of the law one person, and that one person is the husband.
That's what a man wants in a wife, mostly; he wants to make sure one fool tells him he's wise.
To marry a fool is to be no fool.
By all means, marry. If you get a good wife, you'll become happy; if you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher.
