Romantic Quotes
I didn't marry you because you were perfect. I didn't even
marry you because I loved you. I married you because you
gave me a promise. That promise made up for your faults.
And the promise I gave you made up for mine. Two imperfect
people got married and it was the promise that made the marriage.
And when our children were growing up, it wasn't a house that
protected them; and it wasn't our love that protected them - it was that
promise.
Thornton Wilder, The Skin of Our Teeth

When asked his secret of love, being married fifty-four years to the same person, he said,
"Ruth and I are happily incompatible."
Billy Graham

Why is it that people get married?
Because we need a witness to our lives.
There’s a billion people on the planet.
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 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.
Wife in the movie, Shall We Dance? 2004

What greater thing is there for two human souls than to feel that they are
joined for life - to strengthen each other in all labor, to rest on each
other in all sorrow, to minister to each other in all pain, to be one with
each other in silent, unspeakable memories at the moment of the last parting.
George Elliott (aka Mary Anne Evans), Adam Bede

It's you I like,
It's not the things you wear.
It's not the way you do your hair,
But it's you I like.
The way you are right now
The way down deep inside you
Not the things that hide you
Not your diplomas...
They're just beside you.
But it's you I like,
Every part of you,
Your skin, your eyes, your feelings,
Whether old or new.
I hope that you'll remember
Even when you're feeling blue,
That it's you I like,
It's you yourself, it's you
It's you I like!
Mr Rogers

Grow old along with me. The best is yet to be - the last of life for which the first was made.
Robert Browning
|
If you live to be a hundred, I want
To live to be a hundred minus one day,
So I never have to live without you.
Winnie the Pooh (A.A. Milne)
|
For wherever you go, I will go:
And wherever you lodge, I will lodge,
Your people will be my people,
And, your God, my God.
Ruth 1:16

For you see, each day I love you more. Today more than yesterday and less than tomorrow.
Rosemonde Gerard

The question is asked, "Is there anything more beautiful in life than a young couple clasping hands
and pure hearts in the path of marriage? Can there be anything more beautiful than young love?"
And the answer is given. "Yes, there is a more beautiful thing. It is the spectacle of an old man and an
old woman finishing their journey together on that path. Their hands are gnarled, but still clasped;
their faces are seamed, but still radiant; their hearts are physically bowed and tired, but still strong
with love and devotion for one another. Yes, there is a more beautiful thing than young love. Old love."

If you are ever going to love me,
Love me now, while I can know
The sweet and tender feelings
Which from true affection flow.
Love me now
While I am living.
Do not wait until I'm gone
And then have it chiseled in marble,
Sweet words on ice-cold stone.
If you have tender thoughts of me,
Please tell me now.

I married you not because I I fell in love with you, but because I wanted to fall in love with you for the
rest of my life.
