Marriage Quotes Plus A Few Wife & Husband Quotes

|
When one gets married it’s almost a certainty one or the other will have to give up something in order to satisfy their marriage partner. In many cases this leads to friction, divorce, or a less than happy marriage, especially after a number of years. If you are not in this situation consider yourself lucky. In 2008, 49% of all marriages involve a remarriage for one or both spouses. It is estimated that 40% of all marriages have ended in divorce as of 2008.
With statistics like that we feel there needs to be some, maybe a lot, of good luck to keep things going smoothly in marriage.
Here are some marriage quotes with a few wife and husband quotes thrown in for good measure.

your man is into, you better be into. Your partner into
church, you better be into church. Your man or woman a
crackhead, you better be a crackhead. Otherwise it just

Suzi Q answers:
I don’t agree with it at all. My husband and I have almost nothing in common with regard to interests and hobbies. Perhaps that’s why we find one another endlessly fascinating! There’s a commonality of values that binds us together, undeniable physical chemistry, and a marked respect for one another. We celebrate our differences! I don’t need him to be into all the things that I am into, nor do I feel the need to take (or even fake!) an interest in the things that he likes to do. Our personalities are very different too. But we love each other and are perfectly happy for one another to enjoy different things.
