It is something you do.” — David Wilkerson “The goal in marriage is not to think alike, but to think together.” — Robert C Dodds “When a wife has a good husband it is easily seen in her face.” — Goethe “There is no remedy for love but to love more.” — Thoreau “What counts in making a happy marriage is not so much how compatible you are, but how you deal with incompatibility.” — Leo Tolstoy “The great secret of successful marriage is to treat all disasters as incidents and none of the incidents as disasters.” — Sir Harold George Nicolson “A great marriage is not when the ‘perfect couple’ come together. It is when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.” — Dave Meure “Love at first sight is easy to understand; it’s when two people have been looking at each other for a lifetime that it becomes a miracle.” — Sam Levenson “Happy marriages begin when we marry the ones we love, and they blossom when we love the ones we marry.” — Tom Mullen “The most important thing a father can do for his children is to love their mother.” — Theodore Hesburgh “A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.” — Mignon McLoughlin “I first learned the concept of non-violence in my marriage.” — Gandhi
