For it is mutual trust, even more than mutual interest that holds human associations together. Our friends seldom profit us but they make us feel safe. Marriage is a scheme to accomplish exactly that same end.
H. L. MenckenAs you get older, you have more responsibilities; you have more commitments, more events, kids, you’re married now. You still have all the things that you’ve had, plus you just keep adding.

Thomas SowellWhat is virtue but the Trade Unionism of the married?

John KennedyIn terms of the legal matter of creating a contract between two people that’s called marriage, and allowing them to live together with the protection of law, it seems to me is the way we should be moving in this country.
Colin PowellMarriage and family are ordained of God. The family is the most important social unit in time and in eternity. Under God’s great plan of happiness, families can be sealed in temples and be prepared to return to dwell in His holy presence forever. That is eternal life!

Russell M. NelsonI feel like I’m the kind of guy that would have kids before getting married. The first thing would be kids.
The WeekndYou don’t sign up for a divorce when you get married. It’s very painful. But it’s taught me a great deal about myself.

Pope FrancisI give unto my wife my second best bed with the furniture.
William ShakespeareI believe marriage is between a man and a woman. I am not in favor of gay marriage. But when you start playing around with constitutions, just to prohibit somebody who cares about another person, it just seems to me that’s not what America’s about. Usually, our constitutions expand liberties, they don’t contract them.
Barack ObamaI’m not a conservative of any kind.
Christopher Hitchens
