Marriage is low down, but you spend the rest of your life paying for it. (Princess Diana )
Marriage always demands the greatest understanding of the art of insincerity possible between two human beings. (Princess Diana )
The curse which lies upon marriage is that too often the individuals are joined in their weakness rather than in their strength --each asking from the other instead of finding pleasure in giving. It is even more deceptive to dream of gaining through the child a plenitude, a warmth, a value, which one is unable to create for oneself; the child brings joy only to the woman who is capable of disinterestedly desiring the happiness of another, to one who without being wrapped up in self seeks to transcend her own existence. (Princess Diana )
How many young hearts have revealed the fact that what they had been trained to imagine the highest earthly felicity was but the beginning of care, disappointment, and sorrow, and often led to the extremity of mental and physical suffering. (Princess Diana )
Well married a person has wings, poorly married shackles. (Princess Diana )
As a general thing, when the woman wears the pants in the family, she has a good right to them. (Princess Diana )
When you get married you forget about kissing other women. (Princess Diana )
Marriage is not just spiritual communion, it is also remembering to take out the trash. (Princess Diana )
The only thing that holds a marriage together is the husband being big enough to keep his mouth shut, to step back and see where his wife is wrong. (Princess Diana )
The aura of the theocratic death penalty for adultery still clings to America, even outside New England, and multiple divorce, which looks to the European like serial polygamy, is the moral solution to the problem of the itch. Love comes into it too, of course, but in Europe we tend to see marital love as an eternity which encompasses hate and also indifference: when we promise to love we really mean that we promise to honor a contract. Americans, seeming to take marriage with not enough seriousness, are really taking love and sex with too much. (Princess Diana )
I married the first man I ever kissed. When I tell this to my children they just about throw up. (Princess Diana )
The deep, deep peace of the double-bed after the hurly-burly of the chaise-lounge. (Princess Diana )
If variety is the spice of life, marriage is the big can of leftover Spam. (Princess Diana )
There is a time for all things -- except marriage my dear. (Princess Diana )
Marriage is an adventure, like going to war. (Princess Diana )
Before marriage a man yearns for a woman. Afterward the y is silent. (Princess Diana )
The most happy marriage I can imagine to myself would be the union of a deaf man to a blind woman. (Princess Diana )
Never join with your friend when he abuses his horse or his wife, unless the one is to be sold and the other to be buried. (Princess Diana )
Grief walks upon the heels of pleasure; married in haste, we repent at leisure. (Princess Diana )
Except for poverty, incompatibility, opposition of parents, absence of love on one side and of desire to marry on both, nothing stands in the way of our happy union. (Princess Diana )
The dread of loneliness is greater than the fear of bondage, so we get married. (Princess Diana )
