Marriage is not a simple love affair, it's an ordeal, and the ordeal is the sacrifice of ego to a relationship in which two have become one

One of the good things that come of a true marriage is, that there is one face on which changes come without your seeing them; or rather there is one face face which you can still see the same, through all the shadows which years have gathered upon it.

When you make a sacrifice in marriage, you're sacrificing not to each other but to unity in a relationship.

One advantage of marriage it seems to me is that when you fall out of love with him or he falls out of love with you it keeps you together until maybe you fall in again.

Marriage resembles a pair of shears, so joined that they cannot be separated; often moving in opposite directions, yet always punishing any one who comes between them.

If I know what love is, it is because of you.
