A good marriage is one which allows for change and growth in the individuals and in the way they express their love.
I think the institute of marriage is a noble thing. The idea of a partner for life is incredibly romantic. But now we're living to 100. A hundred years ago people were dying at age 37. Til death do us part was a much different deal.
There was never a point in my life where I gave up. My marriage, as you know, fell apart.
And my marriage was perfect when I wasn't famous.
Nobody, man or woman, has ever wrecked a good marriage.
The clearest explanation for the failure of any marriage is that the two people are incompatible; that is, that one is male and the other female.
I'm not eager to jump into marriage again. I'm in the corner right now, wearing my dunce cap. That area is obviously a nightmare.
I was a Christian. I didn't want to have sex before marriage, I was a bit uptight and not very self-confident. I was a virgin until I was 26.
I'm not a marriage expert, quite clearly.
Marriage and the creation of families has been an integral part of our society since its creation; it should not be defined without the kind of involvement by the people which a constitutional process would require.
In the Hillary Clinton model, the wife chooses to support the straying husband while wearing a distressed and presumably pained expression in public. She stays in the marriage as a way to serve both her personal ambition as well as their shared ambition to achieve ever-greater positions of power and influence.
I'm the person that I always was, but in terms of how I approach my living, I'm not the same person at all. At all. I've buried a child, I've ended a marriage, and the grandson that I was raising is now grown. My family has totally shifted.
I'm completely comfortable with gay marriage.
My dog Tucker likes to walk late at night because it is a good way to keep me awake. Apparently, the one time I took him for a stroll around midnight represented, to him, a commitment similar to marriage.
I'd like to have a successful marriage, not for the sake of labelling or branding, but because I believe in the institution of marriage.
Michael and I had great role models. Though his father has passed away, his parents had an amazingly strong marriage, as do mine. Both weathered really tough times. For us it has been normal to stay together through difficulties. We grew up witnessing that firsthand.
What we need are not prohibitory marriage laws, but a reformed society, an educated public opinion which will teach individual duty in these matters.
I figure no matter how old you are, it's always going to be your first marriage and no life experience is going to make you a better judge of who you should marry.
It became plain very soon after our marriage that ours was to be a literary partnership.
One hopes, of course, that a relationship grows and becomes a deep and wonderful marriage and friendship that lasts forever. But that's not always the case.
Despite the strength of the feminist movement in the 1970s and beyond, a fable has persisted that educated women are rejected as marriage partners.
There were many women around. We all had a relationship with each other that was very strong. And all of our minds kind of hooked up. We rejected the society. We rejected marriage because we didn't like what our parents had.
I am a very basic person. I still believe marriage happens only once, and you have to sustain it.
I had only two offers of marriage in my life, and I refused both.
The most happy marriage I can picture or imagine to myself would be the union of a deaf man to a blind woman.
I do believe in the traditional definition of marriage.
I think the institution of marriage is a great idea, but for me it's just an idea.
And in a marriage you can't TRY and be married. You're married or you're not married... as far as I'm concerned.
I believe that in the historic and religious nature, marriage is between a man and a woman.
Of all actions of a man's life, his marriage does least concern other people, yet of all actions of our life tis most meddled with by other people.
Woman, or more precisely put, perhaps, marriage, is the representative of life with which you are meant to come to terms.
I think there is much more queer visibility than there was when I was a kid. There is marriage, more trans visibility, and many more celebrities who are open about the sexuality. This was so not the case when I was a kid.
You have to continue to grow and evolve as individuals in order for your marriage to evolve. It takes two pillars to support a structure. If those two pillars become one, you have a structure that teeters.
I've made it abundantly clear that I think that marriage is between a man and a woman.
If your neighbor has a completely different view on abortion, gay marriage, stem cell research, all of those things, you still are both Americans. Neither one of you is necessarily more patriotic than the other. Neither loves their country any more than the other one does.
We have so much discrimination in this world - colour, race, creed, all of these things - and there is an issue here that the right of marriage in the civil law is not extended to same-sex couples.
