It is only with the companionship of the Holy Ghost that we can hope to be equally yoked in a marriage free from discord. I have seen how that companionship is crucial for felicity in a marriage. The miracle of becoming one requires the help of heaven, and it takes time.

Henry B. Eyring

Golf is like hunting and fishing. What counts is the companionship and fellowship of friends, not what you catch or shoot.

George Archer

Artists know that diligence counts as much, if not more, as inspiration; in art, as in politics, patience counts as much as revolution.

Tony Kushner

What counts in making a happy marriage is not so much how compatible you are but how you deal with incompatibility.

Leo Tolstoy

At this point, we are living one of the greatest experiments in humankind - to create something that has, throughout history, been considered a contradiction in terms - a passionate marriage. Passion has always existed, but it took place somewhere else. Everything that we wanted from a traditional marriage - companionship, family, children, economic support, a best friend, a passionate lover, a trusted confidante, an intellectual equal - we are asking from one person what an entire village once provided. And couples are crumbling under the weight of so much expectation.

Esther Perel

To me 'love' is not just marriage and kids. It is companionship.

Tejaswi Madivada

Every man who truly loves a woman, and every woman who truly loves a man, hopes and dreams that their companionship will last forever. But marriage is a covenant sealed by authority. If that authority is of the state alone, it will endure only while the state has jurisdiction, and that jurisdiction ends with death. But add to the authority of the state the power of the endowment given by Him who overcame death, and that companionship will endure beyond life if the parties to the marriage live worthy of the promise.

Gordon B. Hinckley

Ultimately the bond of all companionship, whether in marriage or in friendship, is conversation.

Oscar Wilde

What we do for a living does not matter so much as how we do it. It is the spirit in which we do our work that counts, and that counts through all eternity.

Orison Swett Marden

Talent counts for much, but effort counts for more.

Carter Ratcliff

The sweet companionship of eternal marriage is one of the greatest blessings God has granted to His children.

Joseph B. Wirthlin

The Voice of Heaven is a still small voice. The voice of peace in the home is a quiet voice. There is need for much discipline in marriage, not of one's companion, but of oneself... When couples cultivate the art of the soft answer, it blesses their home, their life together, and their companionship.

Gordon B. Hinckley

Marriage ... has historically been a battlefield, the site of collisions within and between governments and religions over who should regulate it. But marriage has weathered centuries of skirmishes and change. It has evolved from an institution that was imposed on some people and denied to others, to the loving union of companionship, commitment, and caring between equal partners that we think of today.

Evan Wolfson

Who doesn't like having love, companionship, care and affection? I get plenty of that from my family and friends. But I'm not averse to marriage.

Poonam Dhillon

He thought of her often, and he missed the companionship they'd once shared and the friendship that had been the bedrock of their marriage at its best.
