Robert Louis Stevenson

75. “When people get married because they think it’s a long-time love affair, they’ll be divorced very soon, because all love affairs end in disappointment. But marriage is a recognition of a spiritual identity.” Joseph Campbell Marriage, Love Affair, Spiritual Identity, Long-term Commitment, Emotional Connection, Relationship Dynamics
77. “But marriage is marriage, you know. Marriage is not a love affair. A love affair is a totally different thing. A marriage is a commitment to that which you are. That person is literally your other half. And you and the other are one. A love affair isn’t that. That is a relationship for pleasure, and when it gets to be unpleasurable, it’s off. But a marriage is a life commitment, and a life commitment means the prime concern of your life. If marriage is not the prime concern, you’re not married.” Joseph Campbell Marriage Commitment, Love And Union, Marriage, Commitment, Love, Union
82. “Men who marry for gratification, propagation or the matter of buttons or socks, must expect to cope with and deal in a certain amount of quibble, subterfuge, concealments, and double, deep-dyed prevarication.” Elbert Hubbard Marriage Motives, Deceptive Tactics, Hidden Truths, Relationships, Marriage, Lies
84. “Pierre Curie, a brilliant scientist, happened to marry a still more brilliant one-Marie, the famous Madame Curie-and is the only great scientist in history who is consistently identified as the husband of someone else.” Isaac Asimov Scientific Legacy, Famous Couple, Gender Perspective, History, Science, Marriage
87. “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.” George Bernard Shaw Marriage Reflection, Passion Analysis, Social Commentary, Marriage, Passion, Swear
