I know in my own marriage I stayed in it to provide my son with what I thought was a stable background and to give him what I thought was the family life a child should have with two parents. But that isn't always the best way and it took me taking my son to therapy after the divorce to really see it.

Although we hardly see each other off the set Joy and I get along well when we do. As far as the marriage between Nathan and Haley I think they are young and will see the reality of the situation eventually.

I was one of 14 senators to vote against the Defense of Marriage Act. I thought it was a harsh and unnecessary thing to do to people across this country who care enough about each other to want to be married.

I've exchanged messages and photos of an explicit nature with about six women over the last three years. For the most part these communications took place before my marriage though some have sadly took place after. To be clear I have never met any of these women or had physical relationships at any time.

I never thought I'd spend all my life with Gary. I suppose I was quite cynical about marriage. But with Jude I knew right from the beginning: there was an electricity I'd never felt before. It was so easy we talked for hours. It was a relief really.

I never thought my marriage could be stronger or I could be closer to Bill. We prayed on our own but now we prayed together and you'll never know how much that means until you do it.

Even though marriage is doomed if you turned it into a job you like and really work at it - it can be salvaged.

Cross-cultural marriage is difficult especially when one person has to live in another country. But I thought there was a very good chance of it working because people grow together if they have a common passion.

I didn't think marriage worked. I thought everybody who was married was secretly miserable - that it was something they just put up with for their children.

Men go into marriage with virtually no expectations whatsoever. Ten years later the men are delightfully surprised to find out that it's actually kind of nice and the women have sort of had to take a nose dive from what they thought it was going to be.

My thoughts are that marriage is between a man and a woman.

When undertaking marriage everyone must be the judge of his own thoughts and take counsel from himself.

I thought the divorce statistics would never apply to me. I was beyond heartbroken when they did. But I got up and got on with it. I also kept my belief in marriage.

I never had a policy about marriage. I got married very young in life and I always think in all relationships I've always thought that it's counterproductive to have a theory on that.

The ceremony took six minutes. The marriage lasted about the same amount of time though we didn't get a divorce for almost a year.

Marriage is a reflection of your life in general: how you treat people how you argue how secure you are in your own thoughts. How vehemently do you argue your point of view? With what disdain do you view the other's point of view?

Marriage is distinctly and repeatedly excluded from heaven. Is this because it is thought likely to mar the general felicity?

There is no subject on which more dangerous nonsense is talked and thought than marriage.

Never feel remorse for what you have thought about your wife she has thought much worse things about you.

I love quotations because it is a joy to find thoughts one might have beautifully expressed with much authority by someone recognized wiser than oneself.

A flower falls even though we love it and a weed grows even though we do not love it.

May we not succumb to thoughts of violence and revenge today but rather to thoughts of mercy and compassion. We are to love our enemies that they might be returned to their right minds.

For though we love both the truth and our friends piety requires us to honor the truth first.

When love beckons to you follow him Though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you yield to him Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you.
