When a husband and wife are concerned only about their own individual desires, the stage is set for conflict. ~ Billy Graham
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by Billy Graham
A Christian is never dependent on the response of others to grow spiritually. It's our own heart's decisions that matter ~ Gary L. Thomas
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by Gary L. Thomas
Still, I was struck by this. Because I am female, I'm expected to aspire to marriage. I am expected to make my life choices always keeping in mind that marriage is the most important. Marriage can be a good thing, a source of joy, love and mutual support. But why do we teach girls to aspire to marriage, yet we don't teach boys to do the same? I ~ Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie
In the long run wives are to be paid in a peculiar coin - consideration for their feelings. As it usually turns out this is an enormous, unthinkable inflation few men will remit, or if they will, only with a sense of being overcharged. ~ Elizabeth Hardwick
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by Elizabeth Hardwick
What is the most overrated skill for an entrepreneur? The most overrated skill is skill. Luck is more important. The entrepreneur gets credit for being this genius, when really he was just at the right place at the right time. ~ Ken Hendricks
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by Ken Hendricks
Marriage is life where you must have eight lives for your partner exclusively! It is also a new beginning that is good as physical-connection, appreciation, recreation, communication, spiritual-connection, emotion, sexual-connection and passionate-intuition. ~ Anyaele Sam Chiyson
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by Anyaele Sam Chiyson
Through the substance of human flesh flows life. Life is more than matter. Religions that attempt to keep the body sacred while denying the Creator's hand are in the same boat as skeptics who try to protect life while saying it is nothing more than matter.

All the desacralizing that has engulfed our culture lies in this very struggle to understand the place and sacredness of the body. The right to every individual life, even the one still in the mother's womb; the pleasure and consummation of sexual delights, reserved for the sanctity of marriage; the injunction against suicide; the care and protection of one's health; the injunction against killing; and the command to love others more than we love ourselves and to work for their good-all of these flow from the fact that this body is a dwelling place for God. Our world would be a different place if we comprehended this sobering privilege.

Having lost this truth, what we are left with? Pornography and the cruel degradation of men, women, and children; death in the womb in the name of personal rights; the breakdown of the family for myriad reasons; the profanation of sex in our entertainment industry; violence in unprecedented proportions. One can only weep for the bleeding and loss. In losing the high value that God has placed on the body, we are in free fall, at the mercy of greed, cruelty, and lust. ~ Ravi Zacharias
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by Ravi Zacharias
We can never know in the beginning, in giving ourselves to a person, to a work, to a marriage or to a cause, exactly what kind of love we are involved with. When we demand a certain specific kind of reciprocation before the revelation has flowered completely we find our selves disappointed and bereaved and in that grief may miss the particular form of love that is actually possible but that did not meet our initial and too specific expectations. Feeling bereft we take our identity as one who is disappointed in love, our almost proud disappointment preventing us from seeing the lack of reciprocation from the person or the situation as simply a difficult invitation into a deeper and as yet unrecognizable form of affection.

The act of loving itself, always becomes a path of humble apprenticeship, not only in following its difficult way and discovering its different forms of humility and beautiful abasement but strangely, through its fierce introduction to all its many astonishing and different forms, where we are asked continually and against our will, to give in so many different ways, without knowing exactly, or in what way, when or how, the mysterious gift will be returned. ~ David Whyte
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by David Whyte
It must be odd having a lover as a servant." Jack said. "You mean a servant as a lover." Violet said. "What you describe is merely how most men view marriage. ~ Lev A.C. Rosen
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by Lev A.C. Rosen
Marriage is sacred intimacy. The husband must love, feed and care for the family. The wife must love, respect and submit to the husband. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
I wish you to understand that there is one man, and only one, for each woman, and one woman only for each man. When those two meet they fly together and are one through all the endless chain of existence. Until they meet all unions are mere accidents which have no meaning. Sooner or later each couple becomes complete. It may not be here. It may be in the next sphere where the sexes meet as they do on earth. Or it may be further delayed. But every man and every woman has his or her affinity, and will find it. Of earthly marriages perhaps one in five is permanent. The others are accidental. Real marriage is of the soul and spirit. Sex actions are a mere external symbol which mean nothing and are foolish, or even pernicious, when the thing which they should symbolize is wanting. Am I clear? ~ Arthur Conan Doyle
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by Arthur Conan Doyle
The ballroom was empty of people but filled with round tables and chairs. It was set for a wedding party. White tablecloths with huge pink bows and pink and white artificial flower centerpieces, a two-foot riser with a long decorated table for the bridal party, a smaller round table next to the riser. The smaller table supported a massive wedding cake that was being cooled by a standing fan. "This is so romantic," I said to Ranger. "Does it give you ideas?" He wrapped an arm around me, dragged me close against him, and kissed me on the forehead. "Yes, it gives me ideas, but not about marriage. Mostly about setting fire to this atrocity. ~ Janet Evanovich
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by Janet Evanovich
Suddenly Heller turned serious and stepped away from Lawson. He came straight at me - okay, what the hell was he doing? - and I about swallowed my tongue. Heller hugged me like a long-lost brother.
"Thank you for protecting my mate," he whispered in my ear.
"You're welcome. You mean the world to him, you know?" I left it at that because, really, what more was there to say?
"Yeah, I do know. Now he needs to know." Heller stepped back from me, then turned around to face Lawson.
Then he went down on one knee.
Lawson gasped, Remi thrust his fist in the air and yelled, "Yes," and I rolled my eyes. Of course, that was more for show than anything. I did have a reputation to keep up
"Lawson?" Heller
held his hand out to Lawson, who took it. "You're my everything, but I've told you that. My life would be… would be incomplete without you. You're my mate - my one and only. What I haven't done is tell you that… that… I love you, and I don't know why I haven't. I think… no, I know I fell in love with you the moment I looked into those beautiful gunmetal-gray eyes of yours at your shop."
"Jesus, Heller," Lawson gasped.
Heller pulled a small box out of his front pocket. "Shifters don't marry… not like humans. Sometimes we have to shift with next to no warning, so we don't wear jewelry."
"But… you don't shift, and being part human, I guessed marriage means a lot to you. It does, right?"
Lawson wiped his eyes. "Oh God, yes, it does. Espe ~ M.A. Church
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by M.A. Church
Rooney was like marrying a high school sweetheart. And then you're like, 'I think we need some time to see other people,' and those other people are new musicians. Starsystem is like a new marriage with new musicians. ~ Robert Coppola Schwartzman
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by Robert Coppola Schwartzman
Adora you're not telling the truth. Go back to your husband and pay gross devotion to your marriage and family. Edochie is an angel. Only agberos would watch football and transfer aggression to their wives, not a captain. ~ S.A. David
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by S.A. David
You marry who you think your beloved is, and then discover who they really are over the years. It's that discovery that makes a marriage work. ~ Mercedes Lackey
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by Mercedes Lackey
Horse

What does the horse give you
That I cannot give you?

I watch you when you are alone,
When you ride into the field behind the dairy,
Your hands buried in the mare's
Dark mane.

Then I know what lies behind your silence:
Scorn, hatred of me, of marriage. Still,
You want me to touch you; you cry out
As brides cry, but when I look at you I see
There are no children in your body.
Then what is there?

Nothing, I think. Only haste
To die before I die.

In a dream, I watched you ride the horse
Over the dry fields and then
Dismount: you two walked together;
In the dark, you had no shadows.
But I felt them coming toward me
Since at night they go anywhere,
They are their own masters.

Look at me. You think I don't understand?
What is the animal
If not passage out of this life? ~ Louise Gluck
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by Louise Gluck
Junction nineteen! Una, she came off at Junction nineteen! You've added an hour to your journey before you even started. Come on, let's get you a drink. How's your love life, anyway?"
Oh GOD. Why can't married people understand that this is no longer a polite question to ask? We wouldn't rush up to THEM and roar, "How's your marriage going? Still having sex?" Everyone knows that dating in your thirties is not the happy-go-lucky free-for-it-all it was when you were twenty-two and that the honest answer is more likely to be, "Actually, last night my married lover appeared wearing suspenders and a darling little Angora crop-top, told me he was gay/a sex addict/a narcotic addict/a commitment phobic and beat me up with a dildo," than, "Super, thanks. ~ Helen Fielding
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by Helen Fielding
Maturity is highly overrated. ~ Kelley Armstrong
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by Kelley Armstrong
It is not what we feel that gets us in to trouble. It is how we express how we feel that causes conflict. ~ DeBorrah K. Ogans
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by DeBorrah K. Ogans
Marriage is god's way to ensure there are few great men ~ Siddharth Katragadda
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by Siddharth Katragadda
A sure romance killer is to NOT shut the bathroom door. ~ Toni Sorenson
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by Toni Sorenson
In marriage, at home and everywhere else, one is to remain superfluous. That is where people go in deep into; that is called the worldly life (sansaar). ~ Dada Bhagwan
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by Dada Bhagwan
Romance is overrated, realism it is. ~ Anna Todd
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by Anna Todd
She is the keeper of my heart, my soul, my dick and balls. ~ A.K. Kuykendall
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by A.K. Kuykendall
How you end something as profound and important as a marriage is a reflection of how you live your life
financially, emotionally, and spiritually. ~ Suze Orman
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by Suze Orman
Gay marriage is a complete red herring to distract everyone from the economy and the war and health care and education. ~ David O. Russell
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by David O. Russell
They feel life is for the taking, and that everyone deserves happiness no matter what the cost. I must remember these tricks if I ever decide to have my soul surgically removed. ~ Suzanne Finnamore
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by Suzanne Finnamore
Marriage is a mystery. ~ Peter Behrens
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by Peter Behrens
According to the Hindu way of thinking, marriage is rather a duty than a privilege. ~ Swami Vivekananda
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by Swami Vivekananda
Whenever your foundation is laid in God, there will be nothing that can shake it, no matter how strong the storm is. ~ Angelo M. Swinson
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by Angelo M. Swinson
One of the marks of a certain type of bad man is that he cannot give up a thing himself without wanting every one else to give it up. That is not the Christian way. An individual Christian may see fit to give up all sorts of things for special reasons
marriage, or meat, or beer, or the cinema; but the moment he starts saying the things are bad in themselves, or looking down his nose at other people who do use them, he has taken the wrong turning. ~ C.S. Lewis
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by C.S. Lewis
I went through some stuff. And I got very depressed at times. It was like a marriage breaking up suddenly, violently, quickly. And I was just trying to figure out what happened. When we started putting this tour together, I started to feel better almost immediately. And then this there is this, there is almost no better antidote to what Ive just been through than to do this every night. ~ Conan O'Brien
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by Conan O'Brien
But the fact is, I looked at my life and realized I already had what people sought in marriage. ~ Khaled Hosseini
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by Khaled Hosseini
Maybe that wasn't logical, but maybe the thing we call logic is overrated. ~ Benjamin Alire Saenz
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by Benjamin Alire Saenz
Courtship is to marriage, as a very witty prologue to a very dull play.
(quoted in Life After Life) ~ William Congreve
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by William Congreve
Love is the strongest force the world possesses and yet it is the humblest imaginable. ~ Mahatma Gandhi
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by Mahatma Gandhi
Marriage is meant to keep people together not just when things are good, but particularly when they are not. That's why we take marriage vows - not wishes ~ Ngina Otiende
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by Ngina Otiende
And I'm sorry," Big Earrings said, "But how is some course going to teach them how marriage works? I've been married three times, and I haven't figured it out yet." She snorted. "I figured out how to call a lawyer, though. ~ Kristin Walker
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by Kristin Walker
Marrying Gretchen is a good idea, darling; I would enjoy bringing her up. Teaching her to shoot, helping her with her first baby, coaching her in how to handle a knife, working out with her in martial arts, all the homey domestic skills a girl needs in this modern world. ~ Robert A. Heinlein
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by Robert A. Heinlein
Humility is the marriage bond of Heaven. Pride is the frigidity of Hell. ~ Peter Kreeft
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by Peter Kreeft
Marriage is a Bond so Strong, yet it gets weak if the knitters (the couples) do not weave the threads carefully, lovingly. ~ Sara Khan
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by Sara Khan
For marriage is like life in this - that it is a field of battle, and not a bed of roses. ~ Robert Louis Stevenson
Marriage Is Overrated quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
