Happy Quotes About Love & Marriage
There are plenty of cynical sayings about love and marriage out there, but I have tried to focus here on the more positive side of relationships with my favorite selection of marriage and love-related happy quotes.
“A happy marriage is a long conversation which always seems too short.”
Andre Maurois
“Don’t marry the person you think you can live with; marry only the individual you think you can’t live without.”
James C. Dobson
“It does not matter how much money a family has. If there is a lot of love in a home, that family is richer than any millionaire could ever be.”

“Later that day I got to thinking about relationships. There are those that open you up to something new and exotic, those that are old and familiar, those that bring up lots of questions, those that bring you somewhere unexpected, those that bring you far from where you started, and those that bring you back. But the most exciting, challenging and significant relationship of all is the one you have with yourself. And if you find someone to love the you you love, well, that’s just fabulous.”
Carrie, Sex & The City
“I have learned that only two things are necessary to keep one’s wife happy. First, let her think she’s having her own way. And second, let her have it.”

“Love, and you shall be loved.”
