it's a big, bridal world out there. start here.
Marriage is like a well-built porch.
If one of the two posts leans too much, the porch collapses.
So each must be strong enough to stand on its own.

You can measure the happiness of a marriage
by the number of scars that each partner
carries on their tongues,
earned from years of biting back angry words.

Every couple needs to argue now and then.
Just to prove that the relationship is strong enough to survive.
Long term relationships, the ones that matter,
are all about weathering the peaks and the valleys.

Marriage: Love is the reason.
Lifelong friendship is the gift.
Kindness is the cause.
Til’ death do us part is the length.

Aim high, but do not aim so high that you totally miss the target.
What really matters is that he will love you, that he will respect you,
that he will honor you, that he will be absolutely true to you,
that he will give you the freedom of expression and
let you fly in the development of your own talents.
He is not going to be perfect, but if he is kind and thoughtful,
if he knows how to work and earn a living, if he is honest and full of faith,
the chances are you will not go wrong, that you will be immensely happy.
~ Gordon Hinckley

A happy marriage does not mean
