~ Emily Hampshire
Unhappy marriages are big box office.
~ David Starkey
I felt she had two unhappy marriages, it was wonderful the way it was. When Audrey would be asked, she'd also say, 'Why mess with a good thing?'

Families are not merely constructs of outdated convention, and traditional marriage laws were not based on animosity toward homosexuals. Rather, I believe that the traditional family structure - centered on a lawful union between one man and one woman - comports with nature and with our Judeo-Christian moral tradition.
~ Charles T. Canady
I'm 0 for 3 with marriage - the scoreboard doesn't lie, never has. So what we all have is a marriage of the heart. To sully or contaminate or radically disrespect this union with a shameful contract is something that I will leave to the amateurs and the Bible grippers.
~ Charlie Sheen

Many societies allowed polygamy, many allowed child marriages, some allowed marriage within families; but none, in thousands of years, defined marriage as the union of people of the same sex.
~ Dennis Prager
