THINGS TO KNOW BEFORE "I DO"
Proverbs 19:14; Houses and riches are an inheritance from fathers, But a prudent wife is from the Lord.
• You don’t marry someone you can live with; you marry someone you can’t live without.
• The real act of marriage takes place in the heart, not in the ballroom or church or synagogue. It's a choice you make - not just on your wedding day, but over and over again and that choice is reflected in the way you treat your husband or wife. BARBARA DE ANGELIS
• The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.
• What counts in making a happy marriage is not so much how compatible you are, but how you deal with incompatibility. Leo Tolstoy
• Let the wife make the husband glad to come home, and let him make her sorry to see him leave.
• Many people marry for the wrong reasons, among them 1) to overcome loneliness, 2) to escape an unhappy parental home, 3) because they think that everyone is expected to marry, 4) because only "losers" who can't find someone to marry stay single, 5) out of a need to parent, or be parented by another person, 6) because they got pregnant, 7) because "we fell in love," ... and on goes the list.
• It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.
• Love is blind, but marriage restores its sight.
• Some young women begin by believing they can change and reform the men they marry. They can't. The only time a woman really succeeds in changing a man is when he’s a baby.
• The difficulty with marriage is that we fall in love with a personality, but must live with a character. Take time to learn the character of your spouse or get ready for disaster.
Understand; What you are as a single person, you will be as a married person, only to a greater degree. Any negative character trait will be intensified in a marriage relationship, because you will feel free to let your guard down that person has committed himself to you and you no longer have to worry about scaring him off. (This is very true about your spouse).
• The secret of a happy marriage is finding the right person. You know they're right if you love to be with them all of the time.
• A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person. MIGNON MCLAUGHLIN
• To keep your marriage brimming, with love in the loving cup, Whenever you're wrong admit it; Whenever you're right shut up. OGDEN NASH
• The goal in marriage is not to think alike, but to think together.
• Happy marriages begin when we marry the ones we love, and they blossom when we love the ones we marry. TOM MULLEN
RIB CRACKER
• After a quarrel, a husband said to his wife, “You know, I was a fool when I married you. “She replied, “Yes, dear, but I was in love and didn’t notice.
• After an acquaintance of ten minutes, many women will exchange confidences that a man would not reveal to a lifelong friend.
• Women like silent men, they think they’re listening. Unknown
• I fell in love at first sight…I should have looked twice. Unknown
• My husband and I have never considered divorce... murder sometimes, but never divorce.
Joyce Brothers
• The man who says his wife can't take a joke forgets that she took him.
• Marrying is easy; it's housework that's hard.
