Marriage

The man who says his wife can't take a joke forgets that she took him.

Let the wife make the husband glad to come home, and let him make her sorry to see him leave.

By all means marry. If you get a good wife you will become happy, and if you get a bad one you will become a philosopher.

The best friend is likely to acquire the best wife, because a good marriage is based on the talent for friendship.

Before marriage, a man will go home and lie awake all night thinking about something you said; after marriage, he'll go to sleep before you finish saying it.

Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, and half-shut afterwards.

I have great hopes that we shall love each other all our lives as much as if we had never married at all.

The difficulty with marriage is that we fall in love with a personality, but must live with a character.

Long engagements give people the opportunity of finding out each other's character before marriage, which is never advisable.

Marrying is easy, it's housework that's hard.
