Joy & Pain In Marriage

“

One was never married, and that’s his hell; another is, and that’s his plague.

Robert Burton

“

The concerts you enjoy together,
Neighbors you annoy together,
Children you destroy together,
That keep marriage intact.

Stephen Sondheim

“

Deceive not thyself by overexpecting happiness in the married estate…. Remember the nightingales which sing only some months in the spring, but commonly are silent when they have hatched their eggs.

Thomas Fuller

“

Marriages are made in heaven and consummated on earth.

John Lyly

“

Every day a little death,
In the parlor, in the bed,
In the curtains, in the silver,
In the buttons, in the bread.
Every day a little sting,
In the heart and in the head.

Stephen Sondheim

“

Never say that marriage has more of joy than pain.

Euripides

“

By night on my bed I sought him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.
