Garrison Keillor, about why he married Jenny: "And my wife. I married my wife because she makes me laugh. You should never marry someone who doesn't make you laugh."

Madeleine L'Engle about privacy in marriage: "I learned fairly early in my marriage that I did not have to confide everything on my mind to my husband; this would be putting on him burdens which I was supposed to carry myself. When a bride insists on telling her lover everything, I suspect she is looking for a father, not a husband. Some of my life was mine to be known by me alone."

Madeleine L'Engle about romance in marriage: "A love which depends solely on romance, on the combustion of two attracting chemistries tends to fizzle out ... A long-term marriage has to move beyond chemistry to compatibility, to friendship, to companionship. It is certainly not that passion disappears, but that it is conjoined with other ways of love."

Sir John Mills, on what has kept their marriage alive: "Always remembering all the dates, sending a bouquet of flowers every week and keeping the marriage fresh. And we have happy hour every evening at six o'clock. She has her drink, a Horse's Neck, which is a tiny jot of brandy, ginger ale with lemon and ice."
