LOUIS K. ANSPACHER: Marriage is that relation between man and woman in which the independence is equal, the dependence mutual, and the obligation reciprocal.
MIGNON MCLAUGHLIN:
A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.
NANETTE NEWMAN:
A good marriage is at least 80 percent good luck in finding the right person at the right time. The rest is trust.
PEARL S. BUCK:
A good marriage is one which allows for change and growth in the individuals and in the way they express their love.
RAINER MARIA RILKE:
A good marriage is that in which each appoints the other guardian of his solitude.
In my point of view, marriage is definitely not something you get into just becoz everyone has started asking or becoz age is catching up or becoz everyone else has sumone or becoz your wonderful parents and friends are encouraging you to do so. It has to be the thing you want to do. Something that both individuals are and want to be commited to. For a lifetime. For an eternity. When you are so hopelessly and helplessly (?) in love with them that all you want to do is be with them for all your life. And, REMAIN so.
Wishful thinking ??? When I do get around to finding someone who would do that to me, I will keep you guys well updated. LOL.[/b]
