Marriage is really tough because you have to deal with feelings and lawyers.

I want to tell you the truth about marriage, son: it's impossible. As impossible as making it into the big leagues. As impossible as making a million dollars. As impossible as doing the right things for your kids so that when they grow up, they love you as much as you love them. And the damn catch is that the only thing that keeps us from being a nation of empty suits is that every now and then we go for the impossible. And today, son, you're going for the impossible.

I don't want to be married. I don't know - it sounds crazy, but in my mind, it's all connected. You get married, you have kids, you grow old, then you die. Somehow, it seems to me, if you didn't get married, you wouldn't die.

Trust your husband, adore your husband, and get as much as you can in your own name.

I'd like to get married because I like the idea of a man being required by law to sleep with me every night.

How dear of you to let me out of jail.

It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads, which sew people together through the years. That's what makes a marriage last more than passion or sex.

I've been married fifty-five years and I've been home three weeks.

Marriage may restrict your activity, but it increases your pleasure. It permits sex without shame, fear, or guilt.

You can't bond with a male until you set your parents free.
