“In China, often only the practice of infanticide makes marriage and family life possible. In all the major towns, parents annually abandon many children in the streets or drown them like unwanted puppies. Some people even make a living out of performing infanticide contracts for money.”

"When we decorated our hands with henna for holidays and weddings, we drew calculus and chemical formulae instead of flowers and butterflies."

"We liked to be known as the clever girls. When we decorated our hands with henna for holidays and weddings, we drew calculus and chemical formulae instead of flowers and butterflies."

I first learned the concepts of non-violence in my marriage.

Don't marry a man to reform him - that's what reform schools are for.

Getting married is like trading in the adoration of many for the sarcasm of one.

Men are my hobby, if I ever got married I'd have to give it up.

Marriage is a fine institution, but I'm not ready for an institution.

And I'd marry you, Harry. Because it rhymes.

Well, after the divorce, I went home and turned all the lights on!

Marriage is the most wonderful thing ever.

I would like to be married and have kids. I would like to do that... Yes, I could see me settling down at some point.

“Marriages suffer from this same cycle. You start dating someone with wonder and anticipation, drunk on love. You romanticize everything about your partner, and even mundane activities like going to the grocery store together can seem like a fantastic date. But then you fall into a routine, and years later, you’ve become roommates, circling the same safe topics while packing lunches, the monotony broken only by occasional date nights. Deep down, you know why these parts of your life have gone stale. It’s because nothing new is happening. You may say you fear change, but the lack of change in your life is why you feel so blah. Monotony will drive any human relationship or endeavor into a ditch.” 

One tradition I have with my friends is that when one of us gets married, we have a ton of fragrance oils and pretty bottles at the bachelorette party. Everyone puts a drop or two in a bottle for the bride and makes a wish, and the bride wears our creation on her wedding day.

Marriage is wonderful.

I don't know if I'm built for marriage.

"Mutual suspicions of mental inadequacy are common during the first year of any marriage."

"The most dangerous food is wedding cake."

"I was against gay marriage until I realized I didn't have to get one."

"Make sure you marry someone who laughs at the same things you do."

"Marriage is three parts love and seven parts forgiveness of sins."

"Marriage has no guarantees. If that's what you're looking for, go live with a car battery."

"For some of us, watching a miniseries that lasts longer than most marriages is not easy."

"For years my wedding ring has done its job. It has led me not into temptation. It has reminded my husband numerous times at parties that it's time to go home. It has been a source of relief to a dinner companion. It has been a status symbol in the maternity ward."
