I would have found you.

The magic isn’t getting married, it’s in staying married.

“A hundred hearts would be too few to carry all my love for you.”

Look, the one thing I like about getting married is that you get to stand up in front of everyone you care about and state, for the record, that you believe in the best case scenario. It terrifies me. But that’s why the outfits are so nice.

A happy marriage is a long conversation which always seems too short.

"I love you. You annoy me more than I ever thought possible, but… I want to spend every irritating minute with you."

"We need a witness to our lives. There’s a billion people on the planet… I mean, what does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you’re promising to care about everything. The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things… all of it, all of the time, every day. You’re saying ‘Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go un-witnessed because I will be your witness.’"

Marriage: If you want something to last forever, you treat it differently. You shield it and protect it. You never abuse it. You don’t expose it to the elements. You don’t make it common or ordinary. If it ever becomes tarnished, you lovingly polish it until it gleams like new. It becomes special because you have made it so, and it grows more beautiful and precious as time goes by.

Being in a long marriage is a little bit like that nice cup of coffee every morning – I might have it every day, but I still enjoy it.

In a time when nothing is more certain than change, the commitment of two people to one another has become difficult and rare. Yet, by its scarcity, the beauty and value of this exchange have only been enhanced.

The older I get, the less time I want to spend with the part of the human race that didn’t marry me.

"It is not the lack of love, but the lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages"

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