Some marriage quotes

I’m tired and lazy today, so instead of writing something, I’m just offering some things that others have said. I don’t know most of the people quoted or their general philosophies, so do not take their inclusion here as an endorsement on my part. If you know of any good quotes about love and marriage, please leave them in the comments.

"What you are as a single person, you will be as a married person, only to a greater degree. Any negative character trait will be intensified in a marriage relationship, because you will feel free to let your guard down—that person has committed himself to you and you no longer have to worry about scaring him off."
—Josh McDowell, The Secret of Loving

"Love at first sight is easy to understand; it’s when two people have been looking at each other for a lifetime that it becomes a miracle."
—Sam Levenson

"For two people in a marriage to live together day after day is unquestionably the one miracle the Vatican has overlooked."
—Bill Cosby

"Marriage—as its veterans know well—is the continuous process of getting used to things you hadn’t expected."
—Tom Mullen

"The middle years of marriage are the most crucial. In the early years, spouses want each other and in late years, they need each other."
—Rebecca Tilly

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

"Wen you’re a married man, Samivel, you’ll understand a good many things as you don’t understand now; but vether it’s worth while goin’ through so much to learn so little, as the charity-boy said ven he got to the end of the alphabet, is a matter o’ taste."
—Charles Dickens, The Pickwick Papers
