Carol and I help lead a weekend marriage retreat a couple of times each year. We hang “marriage quotes” throughout the retreat house. Here are some of our favorites:
“If the grass looks greener on the other side of the fence, it’s because they take better care of it.” – Anonymous
“Love doesn’t make the world go ’round; love is what makes the ride worthwhile.” – Franklin P. Jones
“The wedding was nice…now invite me to the marriage.” – God
“The challenge is to turn I do into we can.” – Scott Stanley, PhD
“Love is a feeling. Marriage is a contract. A relationship is work.” – Lori Gordon
“I think men who have a pierced ear are better prepared for marriage. They’ve experienced pain and bought jewelry.” – Rita Rudner
“A successful marriage requires falling in love many times…always with the same person.” – Mignon McLaughlin
“Any fool can have a trophy wife. It takes a real man to have a trophy marriage.” – Diane Sollee
“Don’t worry that your children never listen to you. Worry that they are always watching you.” – Robert Fulghum
