You need to be my wife to win with me.

A man wants too many things before marriage, but only peace after it.

Marriage can bore you but there is a fortitude that comes from it, too. When you need to lean on it, you are so thankful that you can.

After a long time in laboratories, psychologists have discovered the holy grail of a happy marriage: I applied it and it didn't work

When you live with a woman you learn something every day. So far I have learned that long hair will clog up the shower drain before you can say 'Liquid-Plumr';

A woman has to change her nature if she is to be a wife. She has to learn to curb her tongue, to suppress her desires, to moderate her thoughts and to spend her days putting another first. She has to put him first even when she longs to serve herself or her children. She has to put him first even if she longs to judge for herself. She has to put him first even when she knows best. To be a good wife is to be a woman with a will of iron that you yourself have forged into a bridle to curb your own abilities. To be a good wife is to enslave yourself to a lesser person. To be a good wife is to amputate your own power as surely as the parents of beggars hack off their children's feet for the greater benefit of the family.
