Husband Wife quotes by Thomas Dewar, 1st Baron Dewar
The closer a husband and wife get to God, the closer they get to each other. The farther away they get from God, the farther they get from each other. ~ Jim Bob Duggar
Husband Wife quotes by Jim Bob Duggar
An ugly woman, married to King Henry VIII, would have defied the axe and daunted her husband's infidelities. ~ Honore De Balzac

That wife is an enemy to her husband who is given in marriage against her will. ~ Plautus
Husband Wife quotes by Plautus
A student to teacher: "I am so alone; I don't know what to do?" Teacher: "Do not worry about being alone, we always come alone and go alone. In a very sweet accident, we meet others who are alone and start to be part of them in various forms of relationships such as friends, husband, wife, mother, father, sister and so on. So, life is about sharing a moment together, not thinking as if you are alone. ~ Santosh Kalwar
Husband Wife quotes by Santosh Kalwar
You [can] become part of someone else's narrative. Every once in a while I would get people asking me questions like, "If your husband is a Muslim, then why haven't you converted to Islam?" Interestingly enough, almost every person who asked me that was a Sunni, and it was their not-so-subtle way of implying that my Shiite husband was a bad Muslim for letting his infidel wife run around unconverted. ~ Annia Ciezadlo
Husband Wife quotes by Annia Ciezadlo
Everything, husband, wife, or even the body, is only illusory. These are all shackles of illusion. Unless you can free yourself from these bondages, you will never be able to go to the other shore of the world. ~ Sarada Devi
Husband Wife quotes by Sarada Devi
Show me a husband who keeps his thoughts to himself, and I will show you a frustrated wife. ~ James Dobson
Husband Wife quotes by James Dobson
When a wife has a good husband, it is easily seen on her face. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Husband Wife quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Husbands and wives talk of the cares of matrimony, and bachelors and spinsters bear them. ~ Wilkie Collins
Husband Wife quotes by Wilkie Collins
The most important difference between these early American families and our own is that early families constituted economic unitsin which all members, from young children on up, played important productive roles within the household. The prosperity of the whole family depended on how well husband, wife, and children could manage and cultivate the land. Children were essential to this family enterprise from age six or so until their twenties, when they left home. ~ Kenneth Keniston
Husband Wife quotes by Kenneth Keniston
When the husband and wife are healthy, and free from inherited weaknesses and diseases that might be transmitted with injury to their offspring the use of contraceptives is to be condemned. ~ David O. McKay
Husband Wife quotes by David O. McKay
When trying to communicate with each other, a husband and wife should be careful to make sure their voices and faces agree with their words. ~ Myles Munroe
Husband Wife quotes by Myles Munroe
The husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the Head of the Church. And the wife is there to bless and support and help him. ~ Elisabeth Elliot
Husband Wife quotes by Elisabeth Elliot

Husband Wife quotes by Astrid Lindgren
Far too many husbands fail to recognize that what your wife wants and needs most from you is your concern for her soul. ~ Dennis Rainey
Husband Wife quotes by Dennis Rainey
She is a true wife who is clean (suci), expert, chaste, pleasing to the husband, and truthful. ~ Chanakya
Husband Wife quotes by Chanakya
I have to admit that one of the saddest things I see in ministry is a woman who belittles her husband. Even if he has indeed failed in some way, his wife's disparaging words compound the disaster exponentially. Her cynicism is utterly emasculating, and many times, incredibly subtle. Like a fine, thin blade, it slices deep, penetrating to the very core of his masculine soul. ~ Stu Weber
Husband Wife quotes by Stu Weber
You have a choice in life. Would you rather be lonely or miserable? I would rather be lonely. A lot of people are miserable in a marriage and they don't get along with their wife or husband and it's not worth it. ~ Robert Kiyosaki
Husband Wife quotes by Robert Kiyosaki
My wife would probably say I'm the messiest person in the history of husbands. ~ Stephen Curry
Husband Wife quotes by Stephen Curry
I want you with me, my dearest. Not just as a friend, though also as that. I want you as my wife. I want to know that we share our lives and cares, we share our health and ill, and we share our happiness and sorrow. ~ Aleksandra Layland
Husband Wife quotes by Aleksandra Layland
That never goes over big with your wife. I will be a very good husband for a change. ~ Donald Trump
Husband Wife quotes by Donald Trump
In every marriage the wife has to keep her mouth shut about at least one small thing her husband does that disgusts her. ~ John O'Hara
Husband Wife quotes by John O'Hara
By all implies marry if you get a great wife/husband, you are going to be pleased. If you get a bad a single, you are going to become a philosopher. ~ Socrates
Husband Wife quotes by Socrates
Gentlemen, no one objects to the husband being the head of the wife as Christ was the head of the church
to crucify himself; whatwe object to is his crucifying his wife. ~ Susan B. Anthony
Husband Wife quotes by Susan B. Anthony
That quiet mutual gaze of a trusting husband and wife is like the first moment of rest or refuge from a great weariness or a great danger - not to be interfered with by speech or action which would distract the sensations from the fresh enjoyment of repose. ~ George Eliot
Husband Wife quotes by George Eliot
I could be such a wonderful wife to another wife's husband. ~ Judith Viorst
Husband Wife quotes by Judith Viorst
An obedient wife commands her husband. ~ Benjamin Disraeli
Husband Wife quotes by Benjamin Disraeli
Villains are usually the worst casuists, and rush into crimes to avoid less. Henry VIII. committed murder to avoid the imputation of adultery; and in our times, those who commit the latter crime attempt to wash off the stain of seducing the wife by signifying their readiness to shoot the husband. ~ Charles Caleb Colton
Husband Wife quotes by Charles Caleb Colton
The wife who submits to sexual intercourse against her wishes or desires, virtually commits suicide; while the husband who compels it, commits murder. ~ Victoria Woodhull
Husband Wife quotes by Victoria Woodhull
No husband will ever be better avenged than by his wife's lover. ~ Honore De Balzac
Husband Wife quotes by Honore De Balzac
Everybody is trying to dominate. That is the nature of the ego: to make every effort to dominate the other – whether the other is husband, wife, or children, or friends, makes no difference – to dominate, to find ways and means to dominate.

And if everybody is trying to dominate and you are also trying to dominate there will be struggle. The struggle is not because others are trying to dominate; the struggle is because you are not trying to understand how the ego functions.

You drop out of it! The others cannot be changed, and you will be unnecessarily wasting your life if you try to change the others. That is THEIR problem. They will suffer if they are not understanding, why should you suffer? You simply understand that everybody is trying to dominate, "I drop out of it, I will not try to dominate"... your struggle disappears. And a very beautiful thing happens. ~ Osho
Husband Wife quotes by Osho
If husbands could realize what large returns of profit may be gotten out of a wife by a small word of praise paid over the counter when the market is just right, they would bring matters around the way they wish them much oftener than they usually do. Arguments are unsafe with wives, because they examine them; but they do not examine compliments. One can pass upon a wife a compliment that is three-fourths base ~ Mark Twain
Husband Wife quotes by Mark Twain
If women would make themselves appear as elegant to an Husband, as they were desirous to appear to him while a Lover, the Rake, which all women love, would last longer in the Husband than it generally does. ~ Samuel Richardson
Husband Wife quotes by Samuel Richardson
When custom has made familiar the charms that are most attractive, when youthful freshness has died away, and with the brightness of domestic life more and more shadows have mingled, then ... and not till then, can the wife say of the husband, "He is worthy of love;" then, first, the husband say of the wife, "She blooms in imperishable beauty. ~ Timothy Shay Arthur
Husband Wife quotes by Timothy Shay Arthur
I won't leave you. What if you have another contraction? What if your water breaks and they rush you into the delivery room? What if there are complications?" He asked hoarsely, his eyes dilating more with each anxious question. And Theresa rolled her eyes in exasperation.
"I doubt any of those things will happen in the two minutes it would take you to leave the room and get a cup of coffee, Sandro," she sighed impatiently. ~ Natasha Anders
Husband Wife quotes by Natasha Anders
A good wife maketh a good husband. ~ John Heywood
Husband Wife quotes by John Heywood
What's for dinner is the only question many husbands ask their wives, and the only one to which they care about the answer. ~ Mignon McLaughlin
Husband Wife quotes by Mignon McLaughlin
For Christians to influence the world with the truth of God's Word requires the recovery of the great Reformation doctrine of vocation. Christians are called to God's service not only in church professions but also in every secular calling. The task of restoring truth to the culture depends largely on our laypeople.

To bring back truth, on a practical level, the church must encourage Christians to be not merely consumers of culture but makers of culture. The church needs to cultivate Christian artists, musicians, novelists, filmmakers, journalists, attorneys, teachers, scientists, business executives, and the like, teaching its laypeople the sense in which every secular vocation-including, above all, the callings of husband, wife, and parent--is a sphere of Christian ministry, a way of serving God and neighbor that is grounded in God's truth. Christian laypeople must be encouraged to be leaders in their fields, rather than eager-to-please followers, working from the assumptions of their biblical worldview, not the vapid clichés of pop culture. ~ J. Gresham Machen
Husband Wife quotes by J. Gresham Machen
The husband and wife are one, and that one is the husband. ~ William Blackstone
Husband Wife quotes by William Blackstone
To believe that your husband, wife, parents, kids, boss, job, bank account, or body is even partly responsible for your emotions, to think that there are bullets 'out there' that you have to contend with, that there are stressful life events to overcome, is to miss something vital. ~ Andrew J. Bernstein
Husband Wife quotes by Andrew J. Bernstein
After all is said and done, its usually the wife who has said it and the husband who has done it. ~ Danny Kaye
Husband Wife quotes by Danny Kaye
Lakshmi, the Goddess of wealth, comes of Her own accord where fools are not respected, grain is well stored up, and the husband and wife do not quarrel. ~ Chanakya
Husband Wife quotes by Chanakya
A virtuous wife commands her husband by obeying him. ~ Publilius Syrus
Husband Wife quotes by Publilius Syrus
A wife's power is not to prove her husband but rather to improve him. ~ Johnnie Dent Jr.
Husband Wife quotes by Johnnie Dent Jr.
But I'm not just shocked. I'm also disappointed in May for allowing Z.G. to talk her into this. I'm angry at him for preying on her vulnerability. And I'm heartsick that May and I have to take it. This is how women end up on the street selling their bodies. But then this is how it is for women everywhere. You experience one lapse in conscience, in how low you think you'll go, in what you'll accept, and pretty soon you're at the bottom. You've become a girl with three holes, the lowest form of prostitute, living on one of the floating brothels in Soochow Creek, catering to Chinese so poor they don't mind catching a loathsome disease in exchange for a few humping moments of the husband-wife thing. ~ Lisa See
Husband Wife quotes by Lisa See
A wife is to submit graciously to the servant leadership of her husband even as the church willingly submits to the headship of Christ. ~ Mike Huckabee
Husband Wife quotes by Mike Huckabee
A monk is not forbidden to marry, but if he takes a wife she becomes a monk with the same powers and privileges and occupies the same social position as her husband. ~ Swami Vivekananda
Husband Wife quotes by Swami Vivekananda
There are two kinds of marriages - where the husband quotes the wife and where the wife quotes the husband. ~ Clifford Odets
Husband Wife quotes by Clifford Odets
Good husbands make good wives. ~ Martha Finley
Husband Wife quotes by Martha Finley
Some wives have model husbands, I got one that needed remodeling. ~ Phyllis Diller
Husband Wife quotes by Phyllis Diller
Being a 3-time Intercontinental champion doesn't make you a great wrestler, just like Larry King having 9 wives don't make him a great husband. ~ Jerry Lawler
Husband Wife quotes by Jerry Lawler
Every conscientious husband and wife should measure their marriage by the unchanging standard of the principles found in God's Word. ~ Myles Munroe
Husband Wife quotes by Myles Munroe
It's harder being a woman director because on the whole women don't have husbands or boyfriends who are willing to be wives ~ Jane Campion
Husband Wife quotes by Jane Campion
How would it feel if for an instance we stop being someone's son/daughter, someone's father/mother, someone's husband/wife, someone's lover, somebody's employee, a countryman of some nation, a faithful devotee of some religion or a follower of some ideal and live only being a part of this wonderful, incredible and mysterious creation, wouldn't it would be something worth living for? ~ Bikrant
Husband Wife quotes by Bikrant
It is too much for a husband to have a wife who is a coquette and sanctimonious as well; she should select only one of those qualities. ~ Jean De La Bruyere
Husband Wife quotes by Jean De La Bruyere
A man is biologically incapable of giving 'the look'. ~ Fennel Hudson
Husband Wife quotes by Fennel Hudson
The ideal husband understands every word his wife doesn't say. ~ Alfred Hitchcock
Husband Wife quotes by Alfred Hitchcock
He was doubtless an understanding Fellow that said, there was no happy Marriage but betwixt a blind Wife and a deaf Husband. ~ Michel De Montaigne
Husband Wife quotes by Michel De Montaigne
Bad husbands will make bad wives. ~ William Makepeace Thackeray
Husband Wife quotes by William Makepeace Thackeray
Right after women got the vote, the measure of their social progress can be seen in an advice column written by Dorthy Dix that appeared in newspapers all over the country. The woman should not merely be a domestic drudge, she said:
. . . .a man's wife is the show window where he exhibits the measure of his achievement. . . . The biggest deals are put across over luncheon tables; . . . we meet at dinner the people who can push our fortunes. . . . The woman who cultivates a circle of worthwhile people, who belongs to clubs, who makes herself interesting and agreeable. . . . is a help to her husband. ~ Howard Zinn
Husband Wife quotes by Howard Zinn
Husbands are always angry,
that's their nature.
And the nature of us women,
is not to pay a blind bit of notice. ~ M.C. Beaton
Husband Wife quotes by M.C. Beaton
Much contention and strife will arise in that house where the wife shall get up dissatisfied with her husband. ~ Saadi
Husband Wife quotes by Saadi
Only in sex the noise sometimes stops. I say "sometimes". If you have become habitual in sex also, as husbands and wives become, then it never stops. The whole act becomes automatic and the mind goes on its own. Then sex also is a boredom. ~ Rajneesh
Husband Wife quotes by Rajneesh
How many wives have been forced by the death of well-intentioned but too protective husbands to face reality late in life, bewildered and frightened because they were strangers to it! ~ Hortense Odlum
Husband Wife quotes by Hortense Odlum
I think social media is the enemy of anyone going through a split. Technology is no longer just how we connect with each other, it's how we disconnect with each other. You used to be able to break up with someone (a boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife, or friend), and he or she virtually disappeared from your life. And that's the way it's supposed to be, isn't it? ~ Brandi Glanville
Husband Wife quotes by Brandi Glanville
Marriage is sanctified when it is cherished and honored in holiness. That union is not merely between husband and wife; it embraces a partnership with God. ~ Russell M. Nelson
Husband Wife quotes by Russell M. Nelson
Happy is that family where both the husband and wife are mutual members of Christ's body ~ William Gouge
Husband Wife quotes by William Gouge
Husband and wife have so many interests in common that when they have jogged through the ups and downs of life a sufficient time, the leash which at first galled often grows easy and familiar. ~ Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
Husband Wife quotes by Edward Bulwer-Lytton, 1st Baron Lytton
It is sometimes essential for a husband and a wife to quarrel - they get to know each other better. ~ Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
Husband Wife quotes by Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe
God designed husbands and wives to complete each other, not to compete with each other. ~ Jimmy Evans
Husband Wife quotes by Jimmy Evans
Many men hoard for the future husbands of their wives. ~ Solomon Ibn Gabirol
Husband Wife quotes by Solomon Ibn Gabirol
A wife who loses a husband is called a widow. A husband who loses a wife is called a widower. A child who loses his parents is called an orphan. There is no word for a parent who loses a child. That's how awful the loss is. ~ Jay Neugeboren
Husband Wife quotes by Jay Neugeboren
Women's liberationists spread the word that the only peaceful family is one in which either the wife is enslaved or the husband is androgynous. ~ Emmett Tyrrell
Husband Wife quotes by Emmett Tyrrell
You know, you really don't have to kill anyone over this. I'll get an annulment. It will be like never happened"
His eyes came to her, briefly meeting her gaze before dropping to her mouth. "You'll have to make that a divorce instead"
"No you don't understand. An annulment will be much easier to obtain"
His gaze locked with hers now. Cassie became slightly breathless with the intensity of his stare.
"Not after tonight, it won't." He said in his mesmerizing drawl.
"Why?" She barely got the word out.
"Because i'm in the mood to play husband"
"You're what?"
He started toward her. She was too stunned to move, so he was there and reaching for her before she had time to think about running.
"We're having a wedding night," he said as he lifted her off her feet.
~ Johanna Lindsey
Husband Wife quotes by Johanna Lindsey
Doctor controlled his anger. "Tom," he said, "Tom, boy. Pull yourself together. Go back and lay cold cloths - cold as you can get them. I don't suppose you have any ice. Well, keep changing the cloths. I'll be out as fast as I can. Do you hear me? Tom, do you hear me?" He hung the receiver up and dressed. In angry weariness he opened the wall cabinet and collected scalpels and clamps, sponges and tubes of sutures, to put in his bag. He shook his gasoline pressure lantern to make sure it was full and arranged ether can and mask beside it on his bureau. His wife in boudoir cap and nightgown looked in. Dr. Tilson said, "I'm walking over to the garage. Call Will Hamilton. Tell him I want him to drive me to his father's place. If he argues tell him his sister is - dying. ~ John Steinbeck
Husband Wife quotes by John Steinbeck
I always feel I have made unfilmable books. I even felt that way about a book of mine that was later made into a movie. But my wife, who has made two films, thinks this one would make a very original film. I'm all for original films. ~ Rick Moody
Husband Wife quotes by Rick Moody
My late wife Olympia was Goan and I've been to India many times. I love the food there. We used to do our shopping in Southall, where you can find cheap but wonderful fruit like mangoes, vegetables and spices. I didn't do much of the cooking, as Olympia did a lot - I was the under-chef and did some of the chopping. ~ Vince Cable
Husband Wife quotes by Vince Cable
I look upon statistics as the handmaid of medicine, but on that very account I hold that it befits medicine to treat her handmaid with proper respect, and not to prostitute her services for controversial or personal purposes. ~ Karl Pearson
Husband Wife quotes by Karl Pearson
I gave a talk on gender stuff at Facebook one morning and a man didn't come. It was optional; he didn't have to come. But he sent a note saying, "I missed your meeting because I drove my kids to school so my wife could do something else. Thank you for making that possible." I think that employee is a loyal employee for Facebook and I think more companies should want that kind of loyalty. ~ Sheryl Sandberg
Husband Wife quotes by Sheryl Sandberg
I'm just like any other regular mum; cooking, cleaning, wiping butts, picking up after kids, being a wife and helping the kids with their homework. Mind you, I'm terrible at maths. I can't even do my six-year-old's maths homework with her. ~ Gwyneth Paltrow
Husband Wife quotes by Gwyneth Paltrow
By the power invested in me by the state of New York and the Universal Life Church, I now pronounce you husband and husband. You can kiss the groom. ~ Conan O'Brien
Husband Wife quotes by Conan O'Brien
My life was a wreck. I had nothing, no material possessions, unless debts counts. Fourteen pairs of shoes that were too small for me was all I had to show after a lifetime of profligate spending. I hadn't a job. I hadn't any qualifications. I'd achieved nothing with my life. I'd never been happy. I had no husband or boyfriend. ~ Marian Keyes
Husband Wife quotes by Marian Keyes
My wife and I are always concerned about how long it's going to take to eat out. You just don't know. ~ Homaro Cantu
Husband Wife quotes by Homaro Cantu
In the past, Cameron, worrying about Ian, would go make sure that he wasn't sitting alone in a huddle, or staring for hours at a Ming bowl, or pouring over some endless mathematical exercise. These days, Cameron knew that Ian used the excuse of not liking crowds to spend more time alone with his wife – in bed. ~ Jennifer Ashley
Husband Wife quotes by Jennifer Ashley
Husbands are things that wives have to
get used to putting up with.
And with whom they breakfast with
and sup with.
They interfere with the discipline of nurseries,
And forget anniversaries,
And when they have been particularly remiss,
They think they can cure everything
with a great big kiss. ~ Ogden Nash
Husband Wife quotes by Ogden Nash
I look upon Virginia as a rib taken from Britain's side ... While they both proceed as living under the marriage-compact, this Eve might thrive so long as her Adam flourishes. Whatever serpent shall tempt her to go astray etc [will only cause] her husband to rule more strictly over her. ~ Alexander Spotswood
Husband Wife quotes by Alexander Spotswood
Trouble with women. Can't do any art and be married if you're in love with your wife. ~ Stephen Vincent Benet
Husband Wife quotes by Stephen Vincent Benet
It's very soon done, sir, isn't it?' inquired Mr. Folair of the collector, leaning over the table to address him.
What is soon done, sir?' returned Mr. Lillyvick.
The tying up, the fixing oneself with a wife,' replied Mr. Folair. 'It don't take long, does it?'
No, sir,' replied Mr. Lillyvick, colouring. 'It does not take long. And what then, sir?'
Oh! nothing,' said the actor. 'It don't take a man long to hang himself, either, eh? Ha, ha! ~ Charles Dickens
Husband Wife quotes by Charles Dickens
Being a good husband is like being a good stand-up comic - you need ten years before you can even call yourself a beginner. ~ Jerry Seinfeld
Husband Wife quotes by Jerry Seinfeld
Finn always called it Enna's Stream. He tended to refer to most anything as belonging to her
Enna's Meadow, Enna's Mountain. When he referred to Yasid as Enna's Kingdom, she said, "Isn't that your heart?"
Finn smiled and kissed her hand. Isi rolled her eyes.
"Oh you two are impossible."
Enna laughed. "This coming from the girl who calls her husband 'sweet little bunny boy'?"
Isi blushed. "That was just once. ~ Shannon Hale
Husband Wife quotes by Shannon Hale
I arrived home the other day, and it was just pouring rain out side so buy the time I get from the car to the front door I am soaked. I walk in side and take off my jacket and my wife says Is it raining out I couldn't help my self when I replied Nope, I had to take the gold fish for a walk. Here's your sign! ~ Bill Engvall
Husband Wife quotes by Bill Engvall
My ex-husband is very involved in raising our beautiful children. We're very lucky because we both grew up in working families in middle America. We're on the same page that way. ~ Reese Witherspoon
Husband Wife quotes by Reese Witherspoon
I was from such a large family that when I first met my wife, I told her: 'You can go work outside of the house and I'll stay home and continue making my cartoon strips. Maybe I'll make some commercials nearby, you know I'll do anything locally, but I would love to just stay at home and raise the kids like I did when I was growing up.' ~ Robert Rodriguez
Husband Wife quotes by Robert Rodriguez
That is who I will be to Flame – wife, soul mate, angel. It does not matter in what terms Flame refers to me. He will always be the one my soul knows. He will always be the one my heart will rely on, when it is me who needs to be saved. That is what angels do, Asher. They guide and they save. If he needs me to be his angel right now, then that is who I will be. ~ Tillie Cole
Husband Wife quotes by Tillie Cole
makes me more than sad, it makes my heart burn within me, to see that folk can make a jest of striving men; of chaps who comed to ask for a bit o' fire for th' old granny, as shivers i' th' cold; for a bit o' bedding, and some warm clothing to the poor wife who lies in labour on th' damp flags; and for victuals for the childer, whose little voices are getting too faint and weak to cry aloud wi' hunger. For, brothers, is not them the things we ask for when we ask for more wage? We donnot want dainties, we want bellyfuls; we donnot want gimcrack coats and waistcoats, we want warm clothes; and so that we get 'em, we'd not quarrel wi' what they're made on. We donnot want their grand houses, we want a roof to cover us from the rain, and the snow, and the storm; ay, and not alone to cover us, but the helpless ones that cling to us in the keen wind, and ask us with their eyes why we brought 'em into th' world to suffer?" He ~ Elizabeth Gaskell
