I don’t know why I picked one dozen for the number of quotes, maybe one for each month of the year, since it’s January. I find most of these to hold meaning, even some of the cute ones, although some are just for fun. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.
1. I love being married. It’s so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life. ~Rita Rudner
2. Don’t marry the person you think you can live with; marry only the individual you think you can’t live without. ~Dr. James C. Dobson
3. Success in marriage does not come merely through finding the right mate, but through being the right mate. ~Barnett R. Brickner
4. Our marriage has always been a 50-50 proposition – with the possible exception of closet space. ~Gene Perret
5. Like good wine, marriage gets better with age – once you learn to keep a cork in it. ~Gene Perret
6. I think men who have a pierced ear are better prepared for marriage. They’ve experienced pain and bought jewelry. ~Rita Rudner
7. One advantage of marriage is that, when you fall out of love with him or he falls out of love with you, it keeps you together until you fall in again. ~Judith Viorst
8. Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years. ~Simone Signoret
9. What counts in making a happy marriage is not so much how compatible you are, but how you deal with incompatibility. ~Leo Tolstoy
10. The challenge is to help couples turn “I Do” into “We Can.” ~Scott Stanley
11. Marriage is a commitment- a decision to do, all through life, that which will express your love for one’s spouse. ~Herman H. Kieval
12. Real giving is when we give to our spouses what’s important to them, whether we understand it, like it, agree with it, or not. ~Michele Weiner-Davis
Have a great weekend!
