What nonsense people talk about happy marriages! A man can be happy with any woman so long as he doesn't love her.
One should always be in love. That is the reason one should never marry.
I am not in favour of long engagements. They give people the opportunity of finding out each other's character before marriage, which I think is never advisable.
Loveless marriages are horrible. But there is one thing worse than an absolutely loveless marriage. A marriage in which there is love, but on one side only; faith, but on one side only; devotion, but on one side only and in which of the two hearts one is sure to be broken.

Bigamy is having one wife too many. Monogamy is the same.
Marriage is like grafting ; it may succeed or not.
Happy marriages seem few because novelists aren't wind up in a happy marriage.
It is a truth universally acknowledged that a single man in possession of a good fortune must be in want of a wife.
