Good Marriage Quotes

“I have leveled with the girls - from Anchorage to Amarillo.
I tell them that all marriages are happy
It's the living together afterward that's tough.
I tell them that a good marriage is not a gift,
It's an achievement.
that marriage is not for kids It takes guts and maturity.
It separates the men from the boys and the women from the girls.
I tell them that marriage is tested dily by the ability to compromise.
Its survival can depend on being smart enough to know what's worth fighting about.
Or making an issue of or even mentioning.
Marriage is giving - and more important, it's forgiving.
And it is almost always the wife who must do these things.
Then, as if that were not enough, she must be willing to forget what she forgave.
Often that is the hardest part.
Oh, I have leveled all right.
If they don't get my message, Buster,
It's because they don't want to get it.
Rose-colored glasses are never made in bifocals
Because nobody wants to red the small print in dreams.”
― Ann Landers

“Do you want to know if you have found the right one? That person with whom you can spend the rest of your life, if not eternity? Then answer these questions:

1.) Do you consider this person to be your best friend in the world?
2.) Can you (do you) talk to this person about anything—openly, honestly, and without fear?
3.) Does this person understand and support your dreams (realistic or not) without apathy or criticism?
4.) Does this person share your core values, beliefs, and principles?
5.) Does this person possess a kind disposition and an intellect comparable to your own?

If the answer to every question is a solid yes, then chances are you have found the right one.”

“Relationships die if you fail to talk. I am not referring to chitchat about the weather or disputes over what to have for dinner. A healthy, loving relationship needs deep conversations, earnest discussions about your dreams, hopes, preferences, disappointments, failures, successes, attitudes, and emotions. Loving relationships are fed through communication. They are starved by silence.”
