Most of all, allow these quotes to help you feel less alone as you navigate the pain and turmoil all marriages at times face.

“I don’t want to be married just to be married. I can’t think of anything lonelier than spending the rest of my life with someone I can’t talk to, or worse, someone I can’t be silent with.”
“I love being married. It’s so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.”
“It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.”
“Marriage is not a noun. It’s a verb. It isn’t something you get. It’s something you do. It’s the way you love your partner every day.”
“We’re all a little weird. And life is a little weird. And when we find someone whose weirdness is compatible with ours, we join up with them and fall into mutually satisfying weirdness — and call it love — true love.”
“I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate then when I fall asleep your eyes close.”
“I’m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.”
“Marriages are like fingerprints; each one is different and each one is beautiful.”
“There are a hundred paths through the world that are easier than loving. But who wants easier?”
It’s a sobering fact that40-50% of all marriages end in divorce. So many of us have trouble trusting that our marriage won’t end up in the divorce pile, too. In fact, fear and distrust of marriage is one of the things that prevents people from getting married in the first place; it’s also one of the reasons some people have trouble committing to their marriage once they are in it.
But this is all the more reason why we all need to be open about our feelings — to our partners and ourselves. It’s why we reach out for help when the going gets touch (couple’s therapy is a great option for many couples facing challenges). And it’s why sharing stories,inspirational quotes, and just keeping it real about the struggles and joys of marriage is such a healing, affirming, and powerful act.
