I was born to be married. I just feel comfortable there. I love the idea of being partnered for ever. I love my girlfriend we've been best friends since I was 18. There's not a thing we haven't been through except for marriage... We've had talks about what we would name our kids since we were in our 20s.

I don't think there's anything they can say about me that I haven't said about myself already. And I would be an absolute total liar and my fans would not respect me if I said that my life and my marriage are perfect. But we absolutely love each other we have fun together - it's great.

I think it's unfortunate that there exists only one path in America to complete social legitimacy and that is marriage. I think for instance that it would be far easier for Americans to elect a black president or a female president than an unmarried president.

I believe marriage should be between one man and one woman. That's my view and that'll be the view of our state because I wouldn't sign a bill that - like the one that was in New York.

I thought the divorce statistics would never apply to me. I was beyond heartbroken when they did. But I got up and got on with it. I also kept my belief in marriage.

Marriage is this grand madness and I think if people knew that they would perhaps take it more seriously.

The most happy marriage I can picture or imagine to myself would be the union of a deaf man to a blind woman.

Before marriage a man declares that he would lay down his life to serve you after marriage he won't even lay down his newspaper to talk to you.

I would love to have the same rights as everybody else. I would love I don't care if it's called marriage. I don't care if it's called you know domestic partnership. I don't care what it's called.

Another argument vaguer and even less persuasive is that gay marriage somehow does harm to heterosexual marriage. I have yet to meet anyone who can explain to me what this means. In what way would allowing same-sex partners to marry diminish the marriages of heterosexual couples?

You can forgive people who do not follow you through a philosophical disquisition but to find your wife laughing when you had tears in your eyes or staring when you were in a fit of laughter would go some way towards a dissolution of the marriage.

If it were not for the presents an elopement would be preferable.

Only choose in marriage a man whom you would choose as a friend if he were a woman.

Do not put such unlimited power into the hands of husbands. Remember all men would be tyrants if they could.

He's the kind of man a woman would have to marry to get rid of.

I'd marry again if I found a man who had fifteen million dollars would sign over half to me and guarantee that he'd be dead within a year.

At the end of the day you know love does not happen between two perfect people as much as we would wish.
