Women have always been more critical of marriage than men. The great mysterious irony of it is - at least it's the stereotype - that women want to get married and men are trying to avoid it.

Elizabeth Gilbert

Formerly, many men dominated women within marriage. Now, despite a much wider acceptance of women as workers, men dominate women anonymously outside the marriage.

Sayaji Shinde

If women will not accept marriage with subjection, nor men proffer it without, there is, there can be, no alternative. The women who will not be ruled must live without marriage. And during this transition period... single women make comfortable and attractive homes for themselves.

Susan B. Anthony

Christian marriage is that sacrament which builds up the community of the Church and of society. Marriage has been inscribed in creation's design by God, and, by his grace, countless Christian men and women have lived married life fully.

Pope Francis

The subject of men and women is absolutely fraught with sex, which is as it should be.

Peg Bracken

I think that's part of the creative process to disagree about certain ideas. But we also agree just as much as we disagree, I would say.

I think that's part of the creative process to disagree about certain ideas. But we also agree just as much as we disagree, in the band, I would say.

Marriage works best for men than women. The two happiest groups are married men and unmarried women.

Gloria Steinem

Having forbidden all unlawful marriage, and all unseemly practice, and the union of women with women and men with men.

Eusebius

A healthy, vital society is not one in which we all agree. It is one in which those who disagree can do so with honor and respect for other people's opinions... and an appreciation of our shared humanity.

Marianne Williamson

When Joseph received the revelation that we have in our possession concerning the [baptism of the] dead, the subject was opened to him, not in full but in part... Then women were baptized for men and men for women, & c.
