In marriage, a man becomes slack and selfish, and undergoes a fatty degeneration of his moral being.
Robert Louis Stevenson
When a girl marries, she exchanges the attention of many men for the inattention of one.
Before marriage, a man will lie awake thinking about something you said; after marriage, he’ll fall asleep before you finish saying it.
After a few years of marriage a man can look right at a woman without seeing her and a woman can see right through a man without looking at him.
Helen Rowland, American Journalist
They dream in courtship, but in wedlock wake.
Alexander Pope
One fool at least in every married couple.
Henry Fielding
It is not marriage that fails; it is the people that fail. All that marriage does is to show people up.
H. E. Fosdick, American Baptist Minister
