Ruth and I don't have a perfect marriage, but we have a great one. How can I say two things that seem so contradictory? In a perfect marriage, everything is always the finest and best imaginable; like a Greek statue, the proportions are exact and the finish is unblemished. Who knows any human being lke that? For a marriage couple to expect perfection in each other is unrealistic.

Billy Graham

While you don't need a formal written contract before you get married, I think it's important for both partners to spell out what they expect from each other. . . . There are always plenty of surprises- and lots of give and take-once you're married.

Muriel Fox

Gay marriage - it's not about two people being gay: it's about two people who love each other and who have decided to commit to each other for the exact same reasons any other couple would get married.

Luke Macfarlane

What's realistic to me is that families love each other and stand by each other. What's unrealistic is that they would ever say that.

Mitchell Hurwitz

We are foolish, and without excuse foolish, in speaking of the superiority of one sex to the other, as if they could be compared in similar things! Each has what the other has not; each completes the other; they are in nothing alike and the happiness and perfection of both depend on each asking and receiving from the other what the other only can give.

John Ruskin

Pity the married couple who expect too much from one another.

Ruth Graham

I just don't know a couple that's been married more than three years that doesn't annoy the heck out of each other every 15 minutes.

Patricia Heaton

We do seem to bicker and bicker. Sometimes I feel we're like an old married couple, who think occasionally of murdering each other - but never of divorce.

Denis MacShane

Why would a married couple that lives together every day need to date each other? It's precisely because they live and sleep together.

William J Doherty

We [need to] stop treating each other like that, stop calling each other fat and stop with these unrealistic expectations for women. It’s disappointing that the media keeps it alive and fuels that fire.

Jennifer Lawrence

Over the weekend, former Enron executives Jeffrey Skilling and Rebecca Carter married each other during a huge ceremony in Houston. The happy couple is planning to honeymoon for three weeks in front of Congress.

Conan O'Brien

When a man and a woman see each other and like each other they ought to come together - wham - like a couple of taxis on Broadway, not sit around analyzing each other like two specimens in a bottle.

Thelma Ritter

To see a young couple loving each other is no wonder; but to see an old couple loving each other is the best sight of all.

William Makepeace Thackeray

I don't remember a drama on TV that had shown a couple could be married but still love each other very much, spend every day as if they were still on their honeymoon, be sensuous, and have fun together.

Aaron Spelling

We are still so close, David and I. We were at a party the other day at my mum's house and I was sitting on his lap. We're very affectionate. And I looked at him and thought after being married for 11 years! We were the only couple who were even near each other at that party. We're soul mates.
