anniversary

"More marriages might survive if the partners realized that sometimes the better comes after the worse."

"We are not the same persons this year as last nor are those we love. It is a happy chance if we, changing, continue to love a changed person."

"There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage."

"Marriage is the most natural state of man, and... the state in which you will find solid happiness."

"Marriage is an alliance entered into by a man who can't sleep with the window shut, and a woman who can't sleep with the window open."

"Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union, they insist, there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which, in my book, is a good definition for friendship."
