3 December 2020 Kathy Mattea So I really did stop and change what I saw I was about, and really try to put that principle into play as the center of everything – my friendships, my marriage, my career, my family, my way of being in the world. And that changed everything for me.
3 December 2020 James McGreevey You know for many elected officials they all started in the same place. You know marriage is between a man and a woman, but they understand that they are moving inevitably, catching up to the American public.
3 December 2020 James McGreevey Civil union is less than marriage. Marriage is a sacred and valued institution and ought to be afforded equal protection.
3 December 2020 Ben Nelson Let me be clear. I support the definition of marriage as a union between a man and a woman.
3 December 2020 Ann Romney In marriage, it’s always that give and take and rebalancing that we have to do in how we can help each other. But, I have been known at times by my sons, that is the name that they call me-the Mitt stabilizer.
3 December 2020 Benjamin Disraeli It destroys one’s nerves to be amiable every day to the same human being.

3 December 2020 Raquel Welch We all have a childhood dream that when there is love, everything goes like silk, but the reality is that marriage requires a lot of compromise.
3 December 2020 Ethan Hawke I always felt that a marriage works best at a farm… where you’re together and everybody has clear-cut roles they have chores, ‘you take care of this’ and you know. But it’s hard.
3 December 2020 Jack Kingston So far, 44 States, or 88 percent of the States, have enacted laws providing that marriage shall consist of a union between a man and a woman. Only 75 percent of the States are required to approve a constitutional amendment.
3 December 2020 Allan Sherman Adultery – which is the only grounds for divorce in New York – is not grounds for divorce in California. As a matter of fact, adultery in Southern California is grounds for marriage.

3 December 2020 Ingrid Bergman Never again! I can see no reason for marriage – ever at all. I’ve had it. Three times is enough.

3 December 2020 Richard G. Scott There are powerful emotions that bring two people together in wonderful harmony in a marriage. Satan knows this, and would tempt you to try these emotions outside of marriage. Do not stir emotions meant to be used only in marriage.
