From Lee Daniel Quinn's book, Quinn's Devious

Dictionary:                                      

MARRIAGE, n.                                     

[1] the dawn of romance and the commencement of  

history;                                          

[2] a word that should be pronounced as "mirage";

[3] an event, for the upper middle class, is the 

only adventure left;                             

[4] a very good way to promote civilization - if 

you get a good wife you will be happy, if you get

a bad one you will become a philosopher          

{Socrates};                                      

[5] a process much like a cafeteria - you        

carefully look over the choices, select what looks

the best - and pay later;                        

[6] an event which is called "tying the knot" -  

unfortunately, the knot can be a noose;          

[7] a word which always means commitment - but so

does insanity;                                   

[8] a ceremony favored in England - it's the only

way to beat their cold winters and lack of central

heating;                                         

[9] something that changes the demeanor of a     

driver - there is no longer any effort needed to 

keep both hands on the wheel;                    

[10] the only permanent cure for love;           

[11] is only compatible when the man makes a     

living and his wife makes living worthwhile;     

[12] the only adventure open to the cowardly;    

[13] something which is called a feast -         

unfortunately, sometimes the appetizer is better 

than the main course;                            

[14] a group which consists of: a master, a      

mistress, and two slaves, making in all, two;    

[15] the alliance of two people, one who never   

remembers birthdays, and the other who never     

forgets them;                                    

[16] the process that turns a female from an     

attraction into a distraction;                   

[17] a legal custom which turns a man into the   

captive audience of his wife;                    

[18] that ceremony which makes more strange      

bedfellows than politics;                        

[19] a rite where two people, under the influence

most violent, most insane, most delusive, and most

transient of passions, are required to swear that

they will remain in that excited, abnormal and   

exhausting condition until death do them part;   

[20] occurs where a man gets hooked by his own   

line;                                             

[21] in America, is the only legal method of     

suppressing freedom of speech;                   

[22] is made out of two toothbrushes but a single

tube of toothpaste;                              

[23] is just a three-ring circus: engagement,    

wedding, and suffer;                             

[24] the process of finding out the kind of guy  

your wife would have preferred;                  

[25] a condition where no wife gets what she     

expected, and no husband expected what he was    

getting;                                         

[26] the ceremony which provides a man with      

something that, sooner or later, he will find he 

can't blame on the government;

 

[27] a tradition which would suffer considerably 

if men had to pay the minister the same fee they 

will eventually have to pay the divorce lawyer;  

[28] is much like a pair of shears, so joined so 

the parts cannot be separated, often moving in   

opposite directions, yet always punishing anyone 

who tries to come between them;                  

[29] the continuous process of getting used to   

things you never expected;                       

[30] a status which depends upon two to be       

successful but only one to turn into a failure;  

[31] is a book in which the first chapter is     

written in poetry and the rest of the pages is   

prose;                                           

[32] a bargain, and a sensible person understands

that someone must get the better of any bargain; 

[33] in Japanese is called "Judo" - the art of   

conquering by yielding. This is the western      

equivalent of "Yes, dear";                       

[34] a confrontation which always demands the    

greatest understanding of the subtle art of      

insincerity possible between two human beings;   

[35] is not a word, but a sentence;              

[36] a delightful form of combat where you get to

sleep with the enemy;                            

[37] an investment that pays big dividends if you

manage to keep up the interest.                  

 

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

I pay very little regard...to what a young person says on the subject of marriage. If they profess a disinclination for it, I only set it down that they haven't seen the right person yet.
- Jane Austen

The kind of marriage you make depends upon the kind of person you are. If you are a happy, well-adjusted person, the chances are your marriage will be a happy one. If you have made adjustments so far with more satisfaction than distress, you are likely to make your marriage and family adjustments satisfactorily. If you are discontented and bitter about your lot in life, you will have to change before you can expect to live happily ever after.
- Evelyn Duvall and Reuben Hill

When You Marry Marriage -- as its veterans know well -- is the continuous process of getting used to things you hadn't expected.

The trouble with some women is that they get all excited about nothing -- and then marry him.
- Cher

Never say marriage has more joy than pain.
- Euripedes Alcestis

One man's folly is another man's wife.
- Helen Rowland

Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence 
- Henry Louis Mencken

Marriage is the triumph of imagination over intelligence. Second marriage is the triumph of hope over experience

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

If there was strife and contention in the home, very little in life would compensate for it.

"when two people are under the influence of themost violent, most insane, most delusive, and most transient of passions. They are required to swear that they will remain in that excited, abnormal, and exhausting condition continuously until death do them part." 
- George Bernard Shaw

Nearly all marriages, even happy ones, are mistakes: in the sense that almost certainly (in a more perfect world' or even with a little more care in this imperfect one) boyh partners might be found more suitable mates. But the real soul-mate is the one you are married to.
- J.R.R. Tolkien
