I know that the odds are against a marriage lasting 60 years.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
You know, I might get married at 50 or 60, when it actually means something to say 'for the rest of my life.'
But to sustain a marriage for 50 years, you have to get real a little bit and find someone who is understanding and who you can grow with. My mom always says, 'Marry the man who loves you a millimeter more.'
Marriage is not about age; it's about finding the right person.
You don't stay married for 33 years and not compromise.
To me marriage is for five or ten years.
It won't take 40 years for opposition to same-sex marriage to dissipate.
I've never seen anyone deal in a literary way with what it takes to stay married for more than 50 years, and that seemed like a worthy goal.
I'm amazed, as quirky, individual and selfish as most of us are, that anyone stays married for long.
One should believe in marriage as in the immortality of the soul.
I never believed marriage was a lasting institution. I thought that to be married for five years was to be married forever.
