A man should be taller, older, heavier, uglier, and hoarser than his wife.

Marriage can be compared to a cage: birds outside it despair to enter, and birds within, to escape.

Many a man in love with a dimple makes the mistake of marrying the whole girl.

A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.

Many a man owes his success to his first wife and his second to his success.

Marriage simplifies life and complicates the day.

Women have a mother-nature and a daughter-nature; there are no women with a wife-nature. The quality of wife is an acquired character; it is a combination of mother and daughter.

When you make the sacrifice in marriage, you're sacrificing not to each other but to unity in a relationship.

Never marry a man who hates his mother, because he'll end up hating you.

The happiest marriages are full of alternative lives, lived in the head, unknown to the partner.
