10 marriage quotations close to my heart
April 7th 2009 07:47
There are a lot of quotes on marriage, but these ten resonated with me the most. Perhaps they'll strike a chord within you too.
1. It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages. --
Friedrich Nietzsche
2. A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person. -- Mignon McLaughlin
3. A good marriage is that in which each appoints the other guardian of his solitude. --
Rainer Maria Rilke
4. Intimacy is what makes a marriage, not a ceremony, not a piece of paper from the state. -- Kathleen Norris
5. The real act of marriage takes place in the heart, not in the ballroom or church or synagogue. It's a choice you make / not just on your wedding day, but over and over again / and that choice is reflected in the way you treat your husband or wife. -- Barbara De Angelis
6. What counts in making a happy marriage is not so much how compatible you are, but how you deal with incompatibility. -- Leo Nikolaevich Tolstoy
7. You don't need to be on the save wavelength to succeed in marriage. You just need to be able to ride each other's waves. - Toni Sciarra Poynter, From This Day Forward: Meditations on the First Years of Marriage
8. We are told that people stay in love because of chemistry, or because they remain intrigued with each other, because of many kindnesses, because of luck. But part of it has got to be forgiveness and gratefulness. - Ellen Goodman
9. When people get married because they think it's a long- time love affair, they'll be divorced very soon, because all love affairs end in disappointment. But marriage is a recognition of a spiritual identity. -- Joseph Campbell
10. Oh, how we danced on the night we were wed
We vowed our true love though a word wasn't said
The world was in bloom, there were stars in the skies
Except for the few that were there in your eyes.
The night seemed to fade into blossoming dawn
The sun shone anew but the dance lingered on
Could we but relive that sweet moment sublime
We'd find that our love is unaltered by time.
- lyrics to "The Anniversary Waltz," composed by Dubin/Frank
