Thoughts On Marriage

As for myself, I married Miss Right.  I just didn't know her first name was Always......Red Skelton

The formula for a happy marriage is the same as for living in California:  when you find a fault, don't dwell on it.
                                                                            * * * * * * 

Puppy love could lead to living a dog's life......Fulton J. Sheen 

                                                                            * * * * * * 
Moonlight and roses are bound to fade
For every lover and every maid
But the bond that holds in any weather
Is learning how to laugh together
                                                                            * * * * * *

Keep your eyes open before marriage, half shut afterwards..........Ben Franklin

                                                                             * * * * * *
If you love something, set it free.
If it returns, you haven't lost it
If it disappears and never comes back,
Then it wasn't truly yours to begin with.
.......and if it just sits there watching television unaware it's been set free,
You probably already married it.
                                                                              * * * * * *

Happy marriages begin when we marry the ones we love, and they blossom, when we love the ones we marry....Tom Mullen
                                                                             * * * * * * 

The divorce rate would be lower if instead of marrying for better or worse people would marry for good.......Ruby Dee, Actress

                                                "What makes a marriage last?"
            To do what is best for your partner in life.
          To respect the commitment of husband and wife.
        To be still and just listen...not have to be heard. 
         To forgive and forget and not need the last word.
      To admit you're not perfect....you'll both make mistakes.
         To support the decisions that each of you makes.
        To be willing to laugh when a day has been rough.
        To divide up the burdens when life becomes tough.
       To support one another when things get too hurried.
       To comfort each other when stress keeps you worried.
        To be willing to cherish your true love and friend.
            With joy of compassion that never could end.
                               .....Geneva Meerdink
