If you are looking for some inspirational, funny, beautiful or fun marriage sayings then you have come to the right place. Our team have carefully chosen a wide selection of sayings that can be used on the wedding day itself, perhaps in a speech, or just a word to the bride and groom themselves.

Marriage sayings follow-

All weddings are similar, but every marriage is different.
Marriage saying by John Berger

Marriage is that relation between man and woman in which the independence is equal, the dependence mutual, and the obligation reciprocal.
Louis K. Anspacher

A long marriage is two people trying to dance a duet and two solos at the same time.
Marriage saying by Anne Taylor Fleming

Newlyweds become oldyweds, and oldyweds are the reasons that families work.

Love is blind, but marriage restores its sight.
Saying by unknown

A good marriage is one which allows for change and growth in the individuals and in the way they express their love.
Marriage saying by Pearl S. Buck

When two people are under the influence of the most violent, most insane, most delusive, and most transient of passions, they are required to swear that they will remain in that excited, abnormal, and exhausting condition continuously until death do them part.
Saying by G.B. Shaw

Love seems the swiftest, but it is the slowest of all growths. No man or woman really knows what perfect love is until they have been married a quarter of a century.

Marriage is not just spiritual communion, it is also remembering to take out the trash.
Joyce Brothers Marriage saying

The secret of a happy marriage is finding the right person. You know they’re right if you love to be with them all of the time.
Saying by Julia Child

To keep your marriage brimming,
With love in the loving cup,
Whenever you’re wrong admit it;
Whenever you’re right shut up.
Ogden Nash

Love Sayings

admin — Sat, 20 Mar 2010 08:46:25 +0000

If you looking for some inspiration with some love sayings, perhaps for a card or letter that you are planning to write, or maybe for some poetry, then we hope that this section will be of some help. A selection of some well known and some not so well known love sayings follow…

I tell you I love you every day for fear that tomorrow isn’t another.

The most eloquent silence; that of two mouths meeting in a kiss.

Love puts the fun in together,
The sad in apart,
The hope in tomorrow,
The joy in the heart.

Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age.

I see you in every passing face.

Just because someone doesn’t love you
in the way you want them to,
doesn’t mean that they don’t love you
with all they’ve got.

Let love be your greatest aim.

All I really need is love, but a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt!

The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart.

Don’t forget to love yourself.

He has achieved success who has lived well, laughed often, and loved much.

Love knows no reasons,
love knows no lies.
Love defies all reasons,
love has no eyes.
But love is not blind,
love sees but doesn’t mind.

Life is the flower for which love is the honey.

Love is to think about someone else more times in a day than you think about yourself.

Love is sometimes denied, sometimes lost,
sometimes unrecognized, but in the end,
always found with no regrets, forever valued
and kept treasured.

Love is the master key which opens the gates of happiness.

Love: Two minds without a single thought.

From every human being there rises a light that reaches straight to heaven. And when two souls that are destined to be together find each other, their streams of light flow together, and a single brighter light goes forth from their united being.

Love makes life so confusing but without love would you want to live?

Love without return is like a question without an answer.

Sometimes we let affection,
go unspoken,
Sometimes we let our love
go unexpressed,
Sometimes we can’t find words to tell
our feelings,
Especially towards those
we love the best.

The courses of true love never did run smooth.

“True religion is real living; living with all one’s soul, with all one’s goodness and righteousness”
Albert Einstein

“Sit quietly, doing nothing, spring comes, and the grass grows by itself”
Zen saying

“Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans”
John Lennon

“Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that the stuff life is made of”
Benjamin Franklin

“Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter”

“Gratefulness is the key to a happy life that we hold in our hands, because if we are not grateful, then no matter how much we have we will not be happy — because we will always want to have something else or something more”
Brother David Steindl-Rast

“What work I have done I have done because it has been play. If it had been work I shouldn’t have done it. Who was it who said, “Blessed is the man who has found his work”? Whoever it was he had the right idea in his mind. Mark you, he says his work–not somebody else’s work. The work that is really a man’s own work is play and not work at all. Cursed is the man who has found some other man’s work and cannot lose it. When we talk about the great workers of the world we really mean the great players of the world. The fellows who groan and sweat under the weary load of toil that they bear never can hope to do anything great. How can they when their souls are in a ferment of revolt against the employment of their hands and brains? The product of slavery, intellectual or physical, can never be great”
Mark Twain

Thomas Jefferson

Isaac Asimov

“Life is like a sewer. What you get out of it depends on what you put into it”
Tom Lehrer

“Our care should not be to have lived long as to have lived enough”
Seneca

“The best things in life are nearest: Breath in your nostrils, light in your eyes, flowers at your feet, duties at your hand, the path of right just before you.

Love Quotes & Sayings

admin — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 13:15:48 +0000

Love Quotes & Sayings, perhaps a good way to kick off this section is with a quote from the famous film, Captain Correlli’s Mandolin.

“When you fall in love, it is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake, and then it subsides. And when it subsides, you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots are become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the desire to mate every second of the day. It is not lying awake at night imagining that he is kissing every part of your body. No… don’t blush. I am telling you some truths. For that is just being in love; which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over, when being in love has burned away. Doesn’t sound very exciting, does it? But it is!”

“Love is a fruit in season at all times, and within the reach of every hand”
Mother Theresa

“Love is a canvas furnished by Nature and embroidered by imagination”
Voltaire

“What is love? It is the morning and the evening star.”

From you,
But if you didn’t come
And find me …
I would die”

“At the touch of love everyone becomes a poet”
Plato

“True love comes quietly, without banners or flashing lights. If you hear bells, get your ears checked”
Erich Segal

“Love is a state of mind which has nothing to do with the mind”
Bob Phillips

“Love doesn’t make the world go ’round.
Love is what makes the ride worthwhile”
Franklin P. Jones

“I have found men who didn’t know how to kiss.
I’ve always found time to teach them”
Mae West

“Love is the greatest refreshment in life”
Pablo Picasso

“They do not love that do not show their love. The course of true love never did run smooth. Love is a familiar. Love is a devil. There is no evil angel but Love”
William Shakespeare

“Love is the triumph of imagination over intelligence”
Henry Louis Mencken

“Love is the emblem of eternity: it confounds all notion of time: effaces all memory of a beginning, all fear of an end”
Germaine De Stael

“…But love is a durable fire
In the mind ever burning;
Never sick, never old, never dead
From itself never turning”
Sir Walter Raleigh

“Love means to commit oneself without guarantee, to give oneself completely in the hope that our love will produce love in the loved person. Love is an act of faith, and whoever is of little faith is also of little love”
