Marriage Quotes That Help You Weather a Storm

101 9
"For two people in a marriage to live together day after day is unquestionably the one miracle the Vatican has overlooked."  This observation was made my Bill Cosby and perhaps speaks more truth than humor.

Marriages come and go every day.  Marriages that are happy and love filled are hard to find and even more difficult to maintain.  Those who are married know it takes a constant effort to remain together and exhibit a union of love and happiness.  Couples employ diverse ways to strengthen their marriage and live together in harmony.

Some find solace and strength in meaningful quotes about marriage and love.  Wisdom of a wise person who has the ability to express in words how you feel can bring support and the desire to move through another day.  When the day has gone bad and you feel no one understands you, particularly your spouse, evocative quotes can renew your enthusiasm and rekindle a love that's grown cold.

Ogden Nash had good advice saying, "To keep your marriage brimming with love in the loving cup, whenever you're wrong admit it, whenever you're right shut up."  The winner of any argument is more often than not the first one who admits wrong and takes the blame.  A wise spouse holds their tongue even though they may be right and never says I told you so.

You may be feeling like Katharine Hepburn when she said, "If you want to sacrifice the admiration of many men for the criticism of one, go ahead, get married."  This feeling often fills young couples soon after the wedding.  They regret what they did and doubt marriage is for them.  It was fun dating and now they're tied to one person for the rest of their life.

If this thought has crossed your mind, remember what Pearl S. Buck said.  She said, "The person who tries to live alone will not succeed as a human being.  His heart withers if it does not answer another heart.  His mind shrinks away if he hears only the echoes of his own thoughts and finds no other inspiration."

Dick Gregory may have found a reason for the feeling of doing wrong when he said, "Political promises are much like marriage vows.  They are made at the beginning of the relationship between candidate and voter, but quickly forgotten."  Perhaps it's time to renew your marriage vows and pledge your love again for one another.

No doubt you've heard the best advice for marriage quoted many times at weddings which is taken from the Bible in First Corinthians 13.  Love is patient, love is kind.  It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud, it is not rude, it is not self seeking.  It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrong.  Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.  It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.  Love never fails.

And as your marriage matures, whisper to your spouse the words of Robert Browning:  "Grow old along with me.  The best is yet to be.  The last of life for which the first was made."
