Marriage quotes
"On Joe DiMaggio’s marriage to Marilyn Monroe:
I don’t know if it’s good for baseball
but it sure beats the hell out of rooming
with Phil Rizzuto."- Yogi Berra
"What they do in heaven we are ignorant of;
but what they do not do we are told expressly;
they neither marry nor are given in marriage."
- Jonathan Swift
“If he’s not calling you, it’s because
you are not on his mind. If he creates
expectations for you, and then doesn’t
follow through on little things, he will do same for big things.
Be aware of this and realize that he’s okay with disappointing you.
Don’t be with someone who doesn’t do what they say they’re going to do.
If he’s choosing not to make a simple effort that
would put you at ease and bring harmony to a
recurring fight, then he doesn’t respect your feelings and needs.
“Busy” is another word for “asshole.”
“Asshole” is another word for the guy you’re dating.
You deserve a fcking phone call.”
― Greg Behrendt
“Let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance between you.
Love one another but make not a bond of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.
Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping.
For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts.
And stand together, yet not too near together:
For the pillars of the temple stand apart,
And the oak tree and the cypress
grow not in each other's shadow.”
― Kahlil Gibran, The Prophet
“It’s probably not just by chance that I’m alone.
It would be very hard for a man to live with me, unless he’s terribly strong. And if he’s stronger than I,
I’m the one who can’t live with him. …
I’m neither smart nor stupid, but I don’t think
I’m a run-of-the-mill person.
I’ve been in business without being a businesswoman,
I’ve loved without being a woman made only for love.
The two men I’ve loved,
I think, will remember me, on earth or in heaven,
because men always remember a woman
who caused them concern and uneasiness.
I’ve done my best,
in regard to people and to life,
without precepts, but with a taste for justice.”
― Coco Chanel
“Happiness is only real when shared”
― Jon Krakauer
“The trouble is not that I am single and likely to stay single,
but that I am lonely and likely to stay lonely.”
― Charlotte Brontë
“You know it's never fifty-fifty in a marriage.
It's always seventy-thirty, or sixty-forty.
Someone falls in love first.
Someone puts someone else up on a pedestal.
Someone works very hard to keep things rolling smoothly;
someone else sails along for the ride.”
