  • “I got gaps; you got gaps; we fill each other’s gaps...Love is absolute loyalty. People fade, looks fade, but loyalty never fades. You can depend so much on certain people; you can set your watch by them. And that’s love, even if it doesn’t seem very exciting." —Sylvester Stallone
  • "When you end up happily married, even the failed relationships have worked beautifully to get you there." —Julia Roberts
  • "There's no bad consequence to loving fully, with all your heart. You always gain by giving love. It's like that beautiful Shakespeare quote from Romeo and Juliet: 'My bounty is as boundless as the sea. My love is deep. The more I give to thee, the more I have.

Romantic Quotes about Marriage

Though there are many different kinds of love, the romantic love we feel with “the one” – whether we aren’t married yet, newlywed, or have been married for decades – is what sets this relationship apart.

Romance – defined as “a feeling of excitement and mystery associated with love” – has inspired writers, poets, musicians, and many others for generations. From the poetry of the Ancient Romans and Greeks to modern day movies, our fascination with love is part of what makes us human.

Keeping the flame of romantic love alive is one of the great challenges of marriage. Work, everyday tasks, pets, household chores, and looking after the kids are just some of the things that can make it difficult to prioritize making time for romance. But Psychology Today warns us that being romantic is a crucial part of maintaining, and growing, your relationship. What’s more, couples who fail to find time to be romantic with one another are less likely to stay together than those who do.

Finding romance doesn’t have to be difficult or time consuming. It could just be something as simple as turning your phones off during the evening, making time for a coffee date at the weekend , preparing a special meal together, sharing a bath, or kissing one another before leaving the house.

Making your relationship a priority – even when you have a lot on your plate – is vital for a long and happy marriage.

Whether you’re looking to remind yourself of the importance of romance, or for a sweet and meaningful way to confess your love to your spouse, these are some of the most romantic quotes ever.

Audrey Hepburn Marriage quote "If I get married, I want to be very married"

Let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other’s cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow. Khalil Gibran, The Prophet
So it’s not gonna be easy. It’s going to be really hard; we’re gonna have to work at this everyday, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, everyday. You and me… everyday. Nicholas Sparks
If I know what love is, it is because of you. Hermann Hasse
The essence of marriage is companionship, and the woman you face across the coffee urn every morning for ninety-nine years must be both able to appreciate your jokes and to sympathize with your aspirations. Elbert Hubbard
To be fully seen by somebody, then, and be loved anyhow–this is a human offering that can border on miraculous. Elizabeth Gilbert

Noah Calhoun quote "The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds"

Love is like a beautiful flower which I may not touch, but whose fragrance makes the garden a place of delight just the same. Helen Keller
To say that one waits a lifetime for his soulmate to come around is a paradox. People eventually get sick of waiting, take a chance on someone, and by the art of commitment become soulmates, which takes a lifetime to perfect. Criss Jami
They slipped briskly into an intimacy from which they never recovered. F. Scott Fitzgerald
There is no greater happiness for a man than approaching a door at the end of a day knowing someone on the other side of that door is waiting for the sound of his footsteps. Ronald Reagan
If I had a flower for every time thought of you… I could walk through my garden forever. Alfred Lord Tennyson

Plato quote "Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet"

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. Pablo Neruda
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. Marilyn Monroe
What is Love? I have met in the streets a very poor young man who was in love. His hat was old, his coat worn, the water passed through his shoes and the stars through his soul. Victor Hugo
I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough. Nicholas Sparks
Who, being loved, is poor? Oscar Wilde

Edgar Allen Peo quote "We loved with a love that was more than love"

There is no remedy for love but to love more. Henry David Thoreau

There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment. Sarah Dessen
You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams. Dr. Seuss
Your absence has not taught me to be alone , it merely has shown that when together we cast a single shadow on the wall. Doug Fetherling

Marriages are like fingerprints; each one is different and each one is beautiful. Maggie Reyes
A happy marriage is a long conversation which always seems too short. Andre Maurois

Funny Marriage Quotes

However long you’ve been together, laughter is at the heart of a happy marriage.

Jeffrey Hall, of the University of Kansas, has analyzed 39 studies (with more than 15,000 participants) over the last 30 years to try to understand the role of laughter in marriage .

He found that “playfulness between romantic partners is a crucial component in bonding and establishing relational security” and that laughter, “particularly shared laughter, is an important indicator of romantic attraction between potential mates.”

Making each other laugh also has a significant impact on the relationship satisfaction couples feel. So, a good sense of humor shouldn’t just be something you look for at the start of a relationship – it should be something you continue to work on throughout your marriage.

So here are some funny marriage quotes to bring some giggles whether you share them together, or think about one another while you’re reading!

Inspiring Marriage Quotes

Marriage and romance are complex concepts that mean many different things to different people.

The idea of committing to spending your life with another person can seem a little overwhelming, because it means that you always have to take another person’s thoughts and feelings into consideration – when previously, you only had to worry about yourself.

Scary though embarking on marriage can be, it is also an incredibly joyful thing. A spouse is your life partner, best friend, lover, confidant, travel buddy, co-parent, and many other things.

This nature of this deep and meaningful relationship has invited plenty of discussion from philosophers, poets, writers, and other great minds throughout history .

Quotes for Newlyweds

Your wedding day should be one of the best days of your life.

Committing to your partner, declaring your love for one another, and bringing two families together is a joyous occasion! It’s also the start of what will hopefully be a long and happy life together.

They say the first year of marriage is the hardest, and in a way – it’s true!

Even if you’ve been together for a long time, the shift in your status can require some adjustment. You might also be learning how to live with one another, what each of you expects from your marriage, or navigating other personal issues together.

Whether you’re newly married, or just want to put some thoughtful wisdom for the happy couple in a wedding card, these marriage quotes are especially for newlyweds.

Robert C Dodds quote "The goal in marriage is not to think alike, but to think together"

Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success. Henry Ford
Marriage is over in an hour, and yet it takes a lifetime to be really married. E. Stanley Jones

Once upon a time, I became yours, and you became mine. And we’ll stay together through the tears and the laughter because that’s what they call happily-ever-after. Kathy R. Jeffords
I assumed all marriages which fail have one or both of the spouses doing something wrong and the wrongdoing leads to a breakup. I was wrong. Doing nothing is equally as bad. Because people don’t float together, they float apart. To stay together, you need a tether. To thrive, a couple must cling and cleave as if there’s a massive wave coming at them. Because there is a wave called drift – laziness, selfishness, convenience, comfortable, resentment, indiscipline, busy. And before long, you look around, and you lost sight of your spouse. Stay tethered: live your vows. Your relationship is counting on it. Ngina Otiende

Always strive to give your spouse the very best of yourself; not what’s leftover after you have given your best to everyone else. Dave Willis
Simply put, a marriage is not a marriage without the existence of two individuals who promised to love each other. Jessica Gardner

Dave Willis quote "Your marriage vows are most important in those moments when they are most difficult to keep"

Marriage is the highest state of friendship. If happy, it lessens our cares by dividing them, at the same time that it doubles our pleasures by mutual participation. Samuel Richardson
When two people become one by way of marriage, it is not only their hearts that are united, but their minds and souls as well. Julie Donner Anderson
The man who puts into marriage only half of what he owns will get that out. Ronald Reagan
A strong marriage rarely has two people strong at the same time. It is a husband and wife who take turns being strong for each other in the moment the other is weak. Ashley Willis
Marriage is another momentous life change. Choose right, and it might be the most positive decision you ever make. Patrick Foley

Khalil Gibran quote "Marriage is the golden ring in a chain whose beginning is a glance and whose ending is eternity"

Religious Marriage Sayings

Marriage remains an incredibly important tradition in every major religion in the world.

Though fewer people than ever are choosing to get married in a house of worship, it doesn’t mean that faith doesn’t play an important role in marriage anymore.

Many are still inspired by the scriptural teachings of their faith, and turn to them for advice on marital roles and achieving harmony. Their communities also play an important role in providing examples of good marriage, and helping couples make time to prioritize their relationship.

These beautiful religious marriage quotes are perfect to share with friends and family who have faith at the heart of their marriage.

Shakespeare quote "God, the best maker of all marriages, Combine your hearts into one"

Scripture says, in all labor there is profit and nowhere is this more true than in the marriage relationship. Wayne Mack
Love is a gift of one’s inner most soul to another so both can be whole. Buddha

Alan Tudyk Makes Reddit Account to Thank a Grieving Fan

For a lot of people, meeting their favorite television or movie star is high up on their bucket list. It's why hundreds of thousands of people shell out big bucks and brave massive crowds at various pop culture conventions every year.

After all, they aren't JUST celebrities; oftentimes they've been with us through some of the most significant periods in our lives (they just don't know it.)

So, when one grieving fan heard that Alan Tudyk, the star of Resident Alien was going to be at the Boston Fan Fest, she knew she had to meet him. She wanted to thank him for helping her survive the darkest time of her life.

However, when the time came, her nerves got the better of her and she "blew it." Fueled by embarrassment and remorse and needing to vent, she turned to Reddit to share her experience.

And that's when fate...who looks suspiciously like Alan Tudyk...stepped in.

Reddit Post

from ResidentAlienTVshow

For anyone who hasn't seen it, Resident Alien is the wickedly funny sci-fi comedy about "a crash-landed alien (played by Alan Tudyk) who takes on the identity of a small-town Colorado doctor," per IMDB . Sent to wipe out humanity, he winds up having a moral crisis of conscience instead.

Since first airing in 2021, it's quickly become a beloved favorite and has a 97% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes, in large part due to Tudyk's brilliant performance.

Recently, the actor was a celebrity guest at a fan convention in Boston and met up with our anonymous Redditor.

“I went to Fan Fest Boston and met Alan on Saturday,” her post began. She wanted to tell him how much his show meant to her.

“I wanted to tell him that ‘Resident Alien’ was the first show that made me laugh after my husband died this winter, that it helped me to feel human again, and I wanted to thank him for that.”

Instead, she froze.

After witnessing the long lines of people and how "exhausted" Tudyk appeared, she "got too nervous about taking up his time." Plus she knew she couldn't tell him without crying.

So instead, she “stood there awkward and stupid,” and made a "dumb Firefly joke" while he signed her picture.

"...and [I] will now spend the rest of my days regretting how I missed my chance to let him know that his work really affected someone and helped them through a hard time."

She figured the Resident Alien Reddit community might understand her remorse, but also just how greatly the show impacted her life.

She ended her post, "I know he probably wouldn't care and he would forget by the end of the day so I'm not sure why it's bothering me so much, but I just really wanted to say thank you."

Alan Tudyk's Sweet Response

Turns out, Tudyk did care. Thanks to the power of the internet, a friend of his saw the post and passed it on. He immediately created his own Reddit account so he could respond. And if you didn't love him before, guaranteed you will now. (Move over Keanu Reeves !)

"My friend sent me this," he wrote. "Sorry you feel like you missed your opportunity. I have read your message. I love that you have such a beautiful connection with the show."

He continued, "I’m so sorry to hear about your husband. I’m glad you’re finding your laugh again and honored that I’m part of that. Your story and similar stories I’ve heard are so touching."

"It makes me feel like my work, which I appreciate getting to do, has worth beyond the Hollywood hustle of it all and the BS business of show business."

He then invited her to come back to the Fan Expo so they could meet. "I’d love to say thank you in person :)"

Unfortunately, the OP wasn't able to take him up on the offer, writing in an update that she was "also a mother and my children and I had plans for our first Father's Day after our loss."

She also sent a personal comment back to Tudyk, thanking him for the offer and writing:

"Please know that the woman in the Loot Crate Wash shirt, who very awkwardly made conversation with you and said that I am a leaf on the wind was too sad when you autographed my picture, thinks the world of you and will absolutely come again next year if you are in Boston and I will be sure to say something!"

Here's to there being a next time!

The Power of Connection

This story isn't just about a positive celebrity encounter (although it is pretty cool). It's also about the power of finding solace and comfort in connection. Whether it's in real life or in the world of make believe.

By sharing our stories in whatever medium, we discover the greatest gift of all: we are not alone.

It's this message that the OP hopes to send.

"Please know first that I'm well aware that my story is nothing special, I'm not the only person in this community to lose someone and find a connection or comfort in the show and I really shared my story thinking that others might share theirs and we could comfort each other," she wrote in her update.

She ended her heartfelt post in the best (and frankly only) way possible. With a fitting quote from Tudyk himself (as his character in Resident Alien ).

"Everyone needs to belong to something bigger than themselves. Yes, there is strength in numbers, but maybe it's simpler. Maybe humans just feel better when they know they are not alone on this earth."

Woman's Maternal Intuition Saves Her Daughter's Life

We all have an inner voice. Call it a sixth sense, or intuition, or your conscience, or gut instinct. Something that nudges us to do something or say something we wouldn’t normally do.

For one mom, this inner voice manifested as a sudden and overwhelming sense of dread for her daughter's safety. And her maternal intuition? Ended up saving her daughter's life.

Young Woman Receives a Chilling Text From Her Mom

Screenshots of a text conversation.

@mara.lynnny

In a TikTok video viewed more than 42 MILLION times, a young woman named Maralyn shares a series of texts between her and her mom in the wee hours of the morning. She captions the post, "Mother instinct is insane. Rip."

She prefaces the screenshots of the text conversation with a photo of two young women (who she clarifies are not her for privacy reasons) with a text overlay, saying:

"This is why you should ever listen to your mother. My worst nightmare came true that night."

According to the texts, Maralyn is "chilling" at a bar when her mom contacts her asking if she is okay. Apparently, she'd just woken up from a nightmare and wanted to check in.

"I had a bad dream about you, is everything okay???!"

Maralyn reassures her mom that everything is fine. She tells her she and her friend are at a bar and she plans on drinking "a little bit."

As soon as her mom hears she's at a bar she doesn't mince words. "Get out." She quickly follows this up with, "In my dream u we're [sic] literally in a bar. Blood everywhere get out now."

Maralyn tries to play it off, "Mom please," and reiterates that everything is "alright." Her mom isn't having it. Obviously rattled by her nightmare and believing it's more than just a dream, she refuses to back down. She sends another text.

"I'm not gonna say that again, get out!!!!!!!!"

This time, Maralyn listens to her mother.

"Alright we are on our way home now," she texts back.

A Mom's Premonition Saves Her Daughter's Life

www.tiktok.com

The final screenshot of the TikTok video reveals a chilling revelation. It's a clip from a newspaper article titled, "8 people were killed in a shooting attack at a bar in Ecuador, local police say."

It turns out, Maralyn's mother's premonition was "bang on".

Later that night, after Maralyn and her friend left the bar, "attackers rode up in a taxi and two motorcycles." They opened fire. According to the news article , the victims included five men and three women.

Had it not been for her mom and her intuition, Maralyn very well could have been among the victims of that horrible shooting that night.

While not everyone is convinced the post is real, one thing is certain. Maternal intuition is REAL. And you don't need to look any further than the comment section to find the proof.

In response to one skeptic who said, " I don't believe it, " one commenter wrote, " Do believe it because my mom as well would dream of situations and they happen shortly after."

"Mother intuition is REAL!!" wrote another. "So i met my friend and we were in the park sitting and just talking, then my mom called me and told me to be at home at 10 p.m. but we promised earlier that i would be at home at 11 p.m. so i asked her what's wrong, but she got mad and keep telling me to leave that place, i did and next morning I heard that after we left, a fire broke out in that park."

A third shared, "My mom decided to leave work early. As she was parking she saw fire rescue pulling into my elementary (across the street) she got out & ran to the office cause her body told her it was for me. It was."

Commenter after commenter came forward to share their own stories.

"I woke up in the middle of the night and told my husband our son wasn’t breathing. he was in a room across the house. i ran in there, he was BLUE. moms know. my son is alive and well today."

"When i was pregnant w/ my son i had a dream of my dad holding my baby (my dad died) and i lost my son 3 days later when my dad wouldn't give him back to me in my dream."

"Mother’s intuition is very real. My son was in a car accident with his dad halfway across the country I had this horrible feeling and could hear metal on metal. I called until someone answered and my ex said literally seconds after the accident happened I started calling him. I just knew."

"My mom told me her stomach hurt so bad one night she couldn't sleep, the same night I miscarried... I swear mom intuition is crazy."

The Power of Maternal Intuition

Whether or not you believe in premonitions or gut feelings, the bond that exists between a mother and her child is undeniable. And science proves it.

Studies have shown that fetal cells embed in a mother's body forever, colonizing our lungs, spleens, kidneys, thyroids, and skin. Their cells embed in our bone marrow, brains, and hearts. They are, quite literally, a part of us.

So it isn't far-fetched to believe that this connection, rooted in both biology and deep emotional ties, can result in some insanely powerful maternal intuition.

But moms don't need scientific evidence to prove what they already know...when it comes to their children, they always know. (So listen to your mother).

Final Thoughts

We’ve covered everything from the importance of mutual respect and true friendship to the power of love and romance, and even included a few humorous quotes to bring a smile to your face.

But the truth is, no matter how many quotes we read or how much inspiration we find, a great marriage is ultimately about the two people in it. It’s about the moments you share, the memories you create, and the love you give to each other every day.

As someone who has had an unsuccessful marriage, a very happy marriage, and who has spent thousands of hours studying marriage and relationships, I can tell you that it’s not always easy.

There are times when you’ll disagree, when you’ll feel frustrated, and when you’ll wonder if you’re doing the right things. But at the end of the day, it’s those tough moments that make you stronger and that bring you closer together.

So, whether you’re newly married, celebrating your 50th anniversary, or still looking for that special person, remember that a great marriage is something that takes time, effort, and patience. But with the right inspiration and the right mindset, it’s something that you can achieve and enjoy for a lifetime.

And on that note, I’ll leave you with one final quote that sums it all up:

“A great marriage is not when the ‘perfect couple’ comes together. It’s when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.” – Dave Meurer

So go out there, enjoy your differences, and create the best marriage possible. You’ve got this!

Inspirational Marriage Quotes

Marriage requires sincere efforts from both partners to sustain happily. Here are some inspirational quotes that will motivate you to give your best to your marriage.

  • “A great marriage is not when the ‘perfect couple’ comes together. It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.” — Dave Meurer

This message is an inspiration to embrace the differences and love each other in spite of them. The goal of your marriage should be to value compromise, communication, and shared growth and learning to celebrate the uniqueness that each person brings to the relationship.

  • “Love doesn’t just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new” –Ursula K. Le Guin

  • “When marrying, ask yourself this question: Do you believe that you will be able to converse well with this person into your old age? Everything else in marriage is transitory.” – Friedrich Nietzsche

Marriage can survive a lifetime only when you are able to talk to your spouse and confide in them the way you would with your best friend.

  • “ True love stands by each other’s side on good days and stands closer on bad days.”
  • “Marriage cannot thrive on the leftover attention. It has to be the best effort!”
  • “Always strive to give your spouse the very best of yourself; not what’s left over after you have given your best to everyone.”

Your spouse should not be your only priority, but they cannot be your least too.

  • “Marriage is not 50-50, divorce is 50-50. Marriage is 100-100 – it isn’t dividing everything in half but giving everything that you have got.”

Marriage is about sharing your joys and sorrows. It is about standing together and working as a team. This is what a marriage is made of. If you know how to share, cherish your partner, and love, you would never have to divide. Learn to share and boost love.

  • “Make your marriage your own. Don’t look at other marriages and wish you had something else. Work to shape your marriage so that it is satisfying for both of you.”
  • “To couples that are meant to be are the ones who go through everything that’s designed to tear them apart and come out stronger than ever before.”
  • “A strong marriage requires you to love each other, especially on days when you’re struggling to like each other.”

Fights, vehement discussions, arguments, remorse, making up, and finally making out. Sounds familiar? Many of us have gone through these phases where we are certain that this is the end. You cannot love your spouse beyond this point! But that’s never true. Love should not die and you can ensure this by letting yourself calm down and then have a sensible discussion. Make love later to cool off the heat too, if you’d like.

  • “A marriage is like a house. When a light bulb goes off you don’t go to find a new house, you fix the light bulb.”

Infidelity would only mean that you would continue looking for happiness elsewhere than what you have got. If you don’t believe in marital fidelity, you cannot stand true to anyone else either. So, strive towards fixing a problem, not running away from it.

  • “In life, marriage is like a flower that needs to be nurtured with the gentle rain of patience and the warmth of affection.”

Marriage also needs tender love and care. It is only when you give your marriage sincere attention and make efforts to keep it going, does blossom into a beautiful flower with fragrance that fills your heart with love.

  • “Marriage also experiences different seasons. There will be a happy spring and gloomy rains. Only the couples prepared for different seasons will be able to sustain through all the seasons.”

Marriages have their share of ups and downs. But a couple that is determined to be together will be prepared for every season and sail through the storm together.

  • “You will disagree with each other. You will scream at each other. You will feel like you hate each other. And when you do, remember why you got together in the first place.”

Happy Marriage Quotes

Marriage is a cauldron in which you put in lots of love, heart-warming care, everlasting respect, and unshakeable trust to create inexhaustible happiness. Here are a few quotes on a happy marriage.

  • “Happy marriages begin when we marry the ones we love, and they blossom when we love the ones we marry.” – Tom Mullen

The foundation of a marriage is laid when we enter into a marital union with those we already hold deep affection for. However, the true magic of happiness unfolds as you cultivate a love that deepens and flourishes over time for the person we’ve chosen to spend our life with.

  • “Marriage is happy when both partners know how to resolve differences without bearing the slightest resentment in their minds.”

Never sleep with a fight. Whatever the matter, sort it and then kiss and make up. Carrying over a fight to the next day is a recipe for disaster, Hence, be loving and share this quote with your significant other.

  • “Love is the foundation of a marriage but the house stands on mutual trust and respect.”

When you are married to someone, you experience a wide range of emotions and  feelings. And love may not be enough to keep you and your spouse together. In such situations, trust and respect is what keeps the relationship strong and lasting.

Positive Marriage Quotes

  • “Experts on romance say for a happy marriage there has to be more than a passionate love. For a lasting union, they insist, there must be a genuine liking for each other. Which, in my book, is a good definition for friendship.” – Marilyn Monroe

Beyond the flames of passionate love, the foundation of a lasting partnership rests on a profound affection and sincere appreciation for one another. This sentiment beautifully aligns with the essence of friendship – a connection grounded in genuine liking, shared interests, and the joy of each other’s company.

  • “Love recognizes no barriers. It jumps hurdles, leaps fences, penetrates walls to arrive at its destination full of hope.” – Maya Angelou

  • “Marriage is the highest state of friendship. If we are happy, it lessens our cares by dividing them, at the same time that it doubles our pleasures by mutual participation.” -Samuel Richardson

Imagine sharing a joyful moment with your spouse, the elation multiplied by having someone by your side who genuinely rejoices in your happiness. Similarly, during challenging times, your burdens are lightened as you face them together, each contributing strength and support. Just as a best friend listens with empathy, a spouse understands your deepest thoughts without words.

  • “A perfect marriage is just two imperfect people who refuse to give up on each other.”
  • “In the symphony of life, marriage is the sweetest melody, where two hearts beat as one in perfect harmony.”
  • “There are a hundred paths through the world that are easier than loving. But who wants easier?” —Mary Oliver
  • “The most successful marriages are those where both husband and wife seek to build the self-esteem of the other.”

Many times, failures push us down and leave us miserable. We lose our self-esteem and self-respect and discontinue to believe in ourselves. This is when a few positive words  from the spouse can do wonders. Uplifting them and making them happy would rekindle their self-worth and increase their faith in you.

  • “Nobody is spared life’s punches. The only difference is in a strong marriage, two pairs of hands stand together, ready to catch them.”

The biggest benefit of being married is that you will have a partner to help you fight through whatever challenges you face in life. Remember, riding a bicycle is easier than trying to get anywhere alone on a unicycle.

  • “Laughter may be the best medicine, but a loving and supportive spouse can cure life’s most difficult ailments.”

When you know your spouse will be there for you in life’s toughest situations, you can rest assured that you will not be alone. Appreciate your spouse whenever they do something for you without being told to. Only a true partner will care for you.

  • “Years will pass and wrinkles will appear, but the love in a strong marriage will only get deeper and stronger.”

Now that’s the definition of commitment. Marriage is a lifelong commitment that remains unaffected by any adversity. It may waver but will never get uprooted by any force.

Romantic Marriage Quotes

Romance tends to slack over a period of time. You need to make efforts to keep it alive. Here are quotes that can rekindle the romance in your marriage.

  • “Love is of all passions the strongest, for it attacks simultaneously the head, the heart and the senses.” – Lao Tzu

  • “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.” – Robert Fulghum, True Love

  • “Whispered words, shared glances, and small gestures of love, only a couple in love will understand the importance of it.”

Marriage Quotes for Husband

Your husband is the sunshine of your life and you want to let him know how you feel about him. Here are quotes to help you share your feelings.

  • “If you live to be a hundred, I wish to live a hundred minus one, so I never have to live without you.”– A. A. Milne

Imaging a life without the one you love is not only difficult but also painful. The quote may sound selfish but it shows how much you would want to be with him throughout your life.

  • “If all else perished and he remained, I should still continue to be; and if all else remained, and he were annihilated, the universe would turn to a mighty stranger.” – Emily Bronte, Wuthering Heights

This message indicates the deep connection of individuals to each other in a marriage. Their existence becomes intertwined in such a way that absence of either makes the rest of the world feel empty and insignificant.

  • “It’s amazing how one day someone walks into your life, and you cannot remember how you ever lived without them.”
  • “The only thing better than having you as my husband is our children having you as their daddy.”
  • “Loving your husband through the hard times, through the valleys, and when he is unlovable, reveals the gospel in us.”

Indeed! When you help and support your husband, it shows your true self, upbringing, and nature to the world. If you can stand by your husband at all times, good or bad, let alone the odds, even God would be in your favor.

  • “I want the kind of marriage that makes my kids want to get married.”

Utopia is only an imagination. But a successful marriage, one that checks all the boxes on the checklist of near perfection is an admiration. If you can have such a wedding it would inspire a lot of relationships around you, including that of your kids’.

  • “I want to inspire my husband. I want him to look at me and say, “It is because of you that I don’t give up!””

Tough times sweep any relationship off its feet, and not in the most charming way. Stopping things from going out of control is very important. For this, you and your spouse should become each other’s role model. The more you inspire each other, the easier it becomes to face a situation.

  • “You married the woman you loved, now love the woman you married.”
  • “My husband is a gift from God!”

This is one of the best love messages for your husband. Having a life partner who is understanding, loving, caring, and is always there for you, is a blessing from above. But this would also mean that you would have to take care of and keep the blessing happy. Do not forget to invest your time and love in the relationship.

  • “I don’t know how I got so lucky to have a wonderful husband like you in my life. So, now each time I see a shooting star, I ask for you to be my husband in every lifetime.”

We never know how we end up meeting the people we do. Especially the ones that change our life forever. If given the chance to choose the closest people in your life again, would you choose your husband? If yes, then let him know through this quote.

  • “My husband came into my life to save me from the mundane. He is the sun that rises with the promise of new hopes and adventures.”

Isn’t it strange that sometimes a spouse completely changes your perspective toward life? This message is for your husband who has infused new energy and vibe into your life.

  • “My children say they love their daddy more than their mommy. I don’t feel bad. I feel blessed to have a wonderful husband who is also a great dad.”

If your spouse plays the dual role of a husband and father perfectly, it is time you appreciate his efforts. Send him this message to let him know how lucky you feel you are to have him in your life.

  • “It’s great to have a companion who listens to you whenever you want to speak without trying to give you unsolicited advice.”

If your husband is a great listener, send him this. Not everyone has the patience to listen to another person grumble and cry. Only those you really care about you will spare time to actually listen to your troubles.

  • “An astrologer once predicted that I’ll have a wonderful married life. I’m glad you made her prediction come true.”

It’s good to have a great married life and even better to be able to appreciate it. Only when you acknowledge your spouse’s contribution to your happy life, do they feel special and loved.

Marriage Quotes for Wife

Wife is a best friend who is also your permanent cheerleader. Here are a few quotes to tell her how much you love her.

  • “My most brilliant achievement was my ability to be able to persuade my wife to marry me.” — Winston Churchill

Winston Churchill’s quote sweetly reflects his sense of pride in winning over his wife’s heart through persuasive charm. Make your life partner fall in love with you over and over again with your little acts of kindness and love.

  • “Happy is the man who finds a true friend, and far happier is he who finds that true friend in his wife.” —Franz Schubert

Marriage should not solely be a romantic relationship but also a bond of everlasting friendship. Finding a true friend is a source of happiness in itself, but the joy is even greater when the friend is also your spouse.

  • “I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where, I love you directly without problems or pride: I love you like this because I don’t know any other way to love, except in this form in which I am not nor are you, so close that your hand upon my chest is mine, so close that your eyes close with my dreams.” —Pablo Neruda

The love that a husband and wife share in a marriage is one of unconditional nature – a love that transcends time, circumstances, and ego. The distinction between ‘I’ and ‘you’ is blurry which is dictated by a love that is pure and unburdened by complications or vanity.

  • “I have someone who I can talk to about anything and someone who I care more about than I’ve cared about anybody.” —George Clooney

Caring for someone more than anything else in the world is like having their well-being intricately woven into the fabric of your own existence. Their happiness, safety, and contentment become your paramount concern, guiding your thoughts and actions. This level of care creates an unbreakable bond, where their joy becomes your own and their pain resonates deeply within you.

  • “I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough.” – Nicholas Sparks , The Notebook

As husband and wife, what matters most in your marriage is to have unconditional love for each other that withstands the test of time. This love should become your source of fulfillment.

  • “To love is nothing. To be loved is something. But to be loved by the person you love is everything.”

Finding love is being overly difficult in today’s world. But once you have found it, there is nothing better. It is indeed true that everyone wishes to be loved as it makes them feel special and cared for.

  • “When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to begin as soon as possible.”
  • “Grow old with me, let us share what we see! Just you and I, as we are!”

Knowing that you will be with your wife you love, for a lifetime, gives some serene happiness. Living together, getting used to one another, watching each other be successful, and living through every joy and sorrow, makes one feel that they haven’t really aged. And it is this love that makes you want to grow together.

  • “I believe in marriage, I believe in commitment , I believe in love, togetherness, and family.”
  • “My heart to you is given, give yours to me! We’ll lock them up in a box, and throw away the key.”

When your hearts are locked on to one another, there is no chance of a third heart, unless that is of your kids’. Lock your hearts together and you will see how beautiful everything around you is.

  • “I choose you. And I’ll continue choosing you over and over again, in a heartbeat. I’ll always choose you.”
  • “Can you grow old with me?”
  • “My life was a book filled with blank pages. You took my hand and helped me start a beautiful story together. I feel blessed that my life’s co-author is my beautiful wife.”

Life becomes so much more interesting when your wife takes interest in your life. It becomes you and your spouse versus the world. It’s a great feeling knowing that you are not alone in the world and that your wife is there to support you always.

  • “I was a wandering vessel drifting away aimlessly until you entered my life like a guiding star. Be with me forever as my life has no direction without you, my wife.”

The entry of a spouse can give direction to your life and you may find a new meaning and new purpose. As a couple you may want to work hard toward common goals and enjoy the companionship.

  • “A wife is the architect of a husband’s happy home. And I am lucky to have the most wonderful architect as my wife.”

If your wife works tirelessly to keep your family happy then appreciate her. Do not miss a chance to acknowledge her efforts and sacrifices. Show your love in both actions and words.

Meaningful Marriage Quotes

Marriage not only means a new turn in life but also a completely new journey. Here are some meaningful quotes about marriage.

  • “Sensual pleasures have the fleeting brilliance of a comet; a happy marriage has the tranquility of a lovely sunset.” —Ann Landers

Intimacy is necessary in a marriage but physical attraction without emotional contentment provides merely a brief and intense moment. Prioritizing a profound emotional bond holds even greater importance. Your marriage should aim to be more like the serene and lasting joy of a sunset.

  • “To be fully seen by somebody, then, and be loved anyhow—this is a human offering that can border on miraculous.” —Elizabeth Gilbert

Being fully seen by someone is like having your soul’s reflection mirrored back, creating a profound sense of validation and acceptance. It’s a feeling of vulnerability and liberation intertwined, where the masks fall away, and you’re embraced for your authentic self; where it almost seems unreal.

  • “Then if marriage is not a contract, what is it? It is an unconditional commitment into which a man and woman enter for life.” -H. Norman Wright

Marriage is a promise two people make to each other without any conditions, and they commit to it for their entire lives. It’s a bond built on unwavering dedication and love, where both husband and wife commit to supporting and being there for each other no matter what challenges come their way.

  • “Every good relationship, especially marriage, is based on respect. If it’s not based on respect, nothing that appears to be good will last very long.” -Amy Grant

Just like a sturdy foundation, respect is essential for a lasting bond. Without it, even things that seem positive won’t endure. Respect nurtures understanding, kindness, and a deep connection, ensuring that a relationship, especially a marriage, remains resilient and meaningful over time.

  • “Marriage is over in an hour, and yet it takes a lifetime to be really married.” -E. Stanley Jones

The wedding ceremony may last only an hour, but the journey of truly understanding, growing, and being fully united with your partner takes a lifetime. It’s a lifelong commitment to learning, adapting, and building a profound connection that transcends the passing of hours.

  • “There is nothing nobler or more admirable than when two people who see eye to eye keep house as man and wife, confounding their enemies and delighting their friends.” -Homer

Marriage is like two trees, firmly rooted side by side, weathering the storms and basking in the sunlight of life together. In this union, each partner listens not just with their ears, but with their heart, comprehending the unspoken words and emotions that flow between them.

  • “Marriage – the roots are deep, the covenant is solid, love is sweet, life is hard, and God is good.”

God’s intervention in the vows, ceremonies, and our lives is magical! Marriage, which is strong and solid, coupled with God’s blessings, becomes rock solid and cannot be broken by anything.

  • “Marriage is a gift from God to us. The quality of our marriage is our gift to Him.”
  • “Marriage does not guarantee you will be together forever, it’s only paper. It takes love, respect, trust, understanding, friendship, and faith in your relationship to make it last.”

Indeed, a marriage cannot go on by itself. Only saying the vows out loud and promising to be together in good and bad times won’t help. This is why you should stand true to all the promises and turn those promises into reality.

  • “You cannot make your marriage all good by yourself! But you can make it better all by yourself.”
  • “A happy marriage is the union of two forgivers.”
  • “Real couples stay faithful. They don’t even think about looking for another because they are too busy looking for ways to show love to each other.”

Trust is the most important ingredient in a marriage. You breach that and the relationship is damaged beyond repair. In fact, you do not have the urge to look at anybody else when you are so deeply in love with your spouse.

  • “Marriage is not a revolving door. You’re either in or out.”
  • “Your marriage will not be defined by the size of your struggles, but by the size of your commitment towards your struggles.”

Problems come and go. Yes, they do come and go. They don’t stay. You must understand that the problem at hand has a solution and it will pass. It will never stay on to haunt you. You will have to keep your calm and work towards solving the issue.

  • “Your marriage vows are most important in those moments, when they are most difficult to keep.”

  • “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.” —Barbara De Angelis
  • “The secret to a happy marriage is if you can be at peace with someone within four walls, if you are content because the one you love is near to you, either upstairs or downstairs, or in the same room, and you feel that warmth that you don’t find very often, then that is what love is all about.”  —Bruce Forsyth
  • “This is what we call love. When you are loved, you can do anything in creation. When you are loved, there’s no need at all to understand what’s happening, because everything happens within you.”  —Paulo Coelho
  • “The secret of a happy marriage is finding the right person. You know they’re right if you love to be with them all the time.”  —Julia Child
  • “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
  • “We need a witness to our lives. There’s a billion people on the planet… I mean, what does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you’re promising to care about everything. The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things… all of it, all of the time, every day. You’re saying, ‘Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it. Your life will not go unwitnessed because I will be your witness.’”  —Beverly Clark

Love is passion and all of that stuff, but actually liking somebody and enjoying someone’s company is something slightly different, and it lasts longer. So you can have both, and I think that’s important. Be married to your best friend.” —Sting
  • When I feel the support that I have from him, I feel invincible. There’s someone behind you on your good days and someone in front of you on your bad days.” —Emily Blunt
  • “Let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other’s cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow.” – Khalil Gibran

  • “What counts in making a happy marriage is not so much how compatible you are, but how you deal with incompatibility.” -Leo Tolstoy
  • “Marriage is a thousand little things. It’s giving up your right to be right in the heat of an argument. It’s forgiving another when they let you down. It’s loving someone enough to step down so they can shine. It’s friendship. It’s being a cheerleader and trusted confidant. It’s a place of forgiveness that welcomes one home, and arms they can run to in the midst of a storm. It’s grace.” -Darlene Schacht
  • “If there is any skill needed by both persons in a marriage, it is the skill of listening.” -John Savage

30 Wedding Blessings for a New Marriage: Scripture and Christian Quotes

Wedding blessings are heartfelt, often religious or spiritual, wishes and prayers for a newly married couple. These blessings are typically given during the wedding ceremony or reception and are meant to convey good wishes, love, and support for the couple's future together. Blessings often incorporate biblical verses, teachings, and sentiments in Christian weddings. Here are some examples of traditional wedding blessings and quotes:

Wedding Blessings

Traditional Christian Blessing: "May God grant you both the wisdom to live a harmonious and joyful life together, the strength to navigate life's challenges, and love that overflows to bless all who know you."

1 Corinthians 13:4-7 : "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres."

Matthew 19:5-6 : "For this reason, a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh. So, they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, let no one separate."

Proverbs 3:3-4 : "Let love and faithfulness never leave you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart. Then you will win favor and a good name in the sight of God and man."

Romans 15:5-6 : "May the God who gives endurance and encouragement give you the same attitude of mind toward each other that Christ Jesus had so that with one mind and one voice you may glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ."

Colossians 3:14 : "And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity."

These blessings and verses are often used to convey the idea that a Christian marriage should be built on love, faith, and the teachings of the Bible. They emphasize the importance of unity, respect, and mutual support in the journey of marriage.

Bible Verses for Blessing a Marriage

"Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." - 1 Corinthians 13:4-7

"Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony." - Colossians 3:12-14

"Steadfast love and faithfulness meet; righteousness and peace kiss each other." - Psalm 85:10

"He who finds a wife finds a good thing and obtains favor from the Lord." - Proverbs 18:22

" House and wealth are inherited from fathers, but a prudent wife is from the Lord." - Proverbs 19:14

"Likewise, husbands, live with your wives in an understanding way, showing honor to the woman as the weaker vessel, since they are heirs with you of the grace of life, so that your prayers may not be hindered." - 1 Peter 3:7

"But from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female.’ ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.” - Mark 10:6-9

"Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm, for love is strong as death, jealousy is fierce as the grave. Its flashes are flashes of fire, the very flame of the LORD. Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man offered for love all the wealth of his house, he would be utterly despised." - Song of Solomon 8:6-7

"Let love be genuine. Abhor what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor. Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord. Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer . Contribute to the needs of the saints and seek to show hospitality. Bless those who persecute you; bless and do not curse them. Rejoice with those who rejoice, weep with those who weep. Live in harmony with one another. Do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly. Never be wise in your own sight. Repay no one evil for evil, but give thought to do what is honorable in the sight of all. If possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all." - Romans 12:9-18

"The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul. He leads me in paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; you anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the LORD forever." - Psalm 23

"Little children, let us not love in word or talk but in deed and in truth. By this we shall know that we are of the truth and reassure our heart before him; for whenever our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and he knows everything. Beloved, if our heart does not condemn us, we have confidence before God; and whatever we ask we receive from him, because we keep his commandments and do what pleases him. And this is his commandment, that we believe in the name of his Son Jesus Christ and love one another, just as he has commanded us" - 1 John 3:18-23

Wedding Blessings: 5 Prayers

A Wedding Day Prayer

Dear Lord, As this couple begins their lives together on their wedding day, I pray that their hearts will unite as one with You in their desire to make You the center. May this day be the start of something beautiful, a celebration unlike any other.

May they visualize their marriage as more than just a bonding of two lives, but as two on mission for You, Lord—a lighthouse of refuge, a welcome place for encouragement, and a testimony to Your power and grace. Help them to cherish their wedding day as a sacred memorial, and their union as a treasure to protect at all costs. Make it a reminder of hope that keeps on going and faith that keeps on growing. Help them to believe that all things are possible through Christ, the One who began the good work in them.

Lord, on their wedding day, may every word spoken and every precious token remind them of the One who holds all things together and who makes all things good. Together as this couple stands side by side, and hand in hand, hold them tightly and never let them go. Fill their hearts with unceasing gratitude. Be their vision, their strength, and their constant companion. In Jesus’s name, Amen

A Marriage Blessing Prayer

O eternal God, creator and preserver of all mankind, giver of all spiritual grace, author of everlasting life, send your blessing on this man and this woman whom we bless in your name.

Amen.

Bless a Marriage and Family

Lord God, heavenly Father, we thank you for instituting holy matrimony to keep us from unchastity and other offenses. Send your blessing on every husband and wife, that they may not provoke each other to anger and strife, but live peaceably together in love and godliness, receive your gracious help in all temptations and raise their children according to your will. Move us all to walk before you in purity and holiness, to put all our trust in you, and lead holy lives on earth and in the world to come enjoy eternal life; through your beloved Son, Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one true God, now and forever. Amen.

Because of your promise that where two or three gather in your name, we know you have also joined us today for the wedding of [ names of Bride and Groom ].

Always bring them closer to you, and closer to one another in the bonds of your love.
