Every couple is only one righteous decision away from a great marriage.

But when thou findest sensibility of heart, joined with softness of manners, an accomplished mind, and religion, united with sweetness of temper, modest deportment, and a love of domestic life; such is the woman who will divide the sorrows and double the joys of thy life. Take her to thyself; she is worthy to be thy nearest friend, thy companion, the wife of thy bosom.

Someone once said that marriage is like standing in a corridor lined with doors. You go off through your door, he goes through his, but at the end of the day you have to come back to the corridor, touch base, hold hands, because through every door are more doors, and beyond them, more again, and if you both go through too many without coming back to the corridor, you may never find your way back.

You know that you love someone when they are on your mind from the time you awake until the time you fall asleep. That you loved them yesterday as much as you do today and more tomorrow.

Marriage union goes beyond the actual ceremony. It goes beyond intimacy and remains a solid foundation for happiness; if only partners remain optimally loyal to the mission.

A man had better study what a human being is, because he's marrying one - assuming that merely being one has not been sufficient stimulus to that study.
