It had not occurred to me that marriage requires the same effort as a career. And unlike a career, marriage requires a joint effort.

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.

Marriage is a linchpin in many women's lives, but many other things can create a satisfying life. I adore my career. It stretches every physical, emotional, and intellectual muscle I have.

I found marriage somewhat stifling. I don't know that I am the kind of man who ought to be married.

I'm not very kind about marriage. I will never get married again.

I guess I just don't have a talent for it, some women just aren't the marrying kind - or anyway, not the permanent marrying kind, and I'm one of them.

There's only one way to have a happy marriage and as soon as I learn what it is I'll get married again.

I've never really been very good at marriage. It's one of my failures. I've tried my best, but I do realise the common denominator is me; it's something I'm doing.

Marriage is like life - it is a field of battle, not a bed of roses.
