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

Long-term relationships are an everyday choice. It's harder to be in a marriage than it is to bounce from one relationship to the next.

There is no doubt that, as a society, we have become blase about the importance of marriage as a stabilising influence and less inclined to prize it as a worthwhile institution.

Healthy marriages are the ones between a man and a woman because they can have a healthy family, and they can raise children in a way that's best for their future, not only socially but psychologically, economically, from a health perspective.

The great thing about marriage is that it creates trust, the most precious of things.

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 can be a magnificent lesson in becoming our best selves; that is true.

Marriage is important to me and I love the idea of being married.

Marriage is survived just on the basis of ordinary etiquette, day in and day out. Also cooking together helps a lot... I've seen all these marriages that failed. Those people are always hollering at each other. That doesn't work.

Seriously - quite seriously - I firmly believe that marriage is to be enjoyed and shared.
