companionship

Politics doesn't make strange bedfellows - marriage does.

When I eventually met Mr. Right I had no idea that his first name was Always.

Behind every successful man is a surprised woman!

When you love someone all your saved-up wishes start coming out.

The right hands of fellowship.

Marriage has no guarantees. If that's what you're looking for go live with a car battery.

A man loves his sweetheart the most his wife the best but his mother the longest.

Sexiness wears thin after a while and beauty fades but to be married to a man who makes you laugh every day ah now that's a real treat.

A happy marriage is a long conversation which always seems too short.

The secret of a happy marriage remains a secret.

Love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction.

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.

No woman ever falls in love with a man unless she has a better opinion of him than he deserves.

One of the things my life has taught me is how important it is to try to say "I love you" in ways that can be preserved looked at and read when you are alone or when there is adversity or when circumstances bring separation. In any case . . . saying "I love you" is one of the "secrets" of the happy marriage that Ronnie and I have shared. Ronnie's letters move me to this day. They are his gift to me across the years and throughout the decades of love.

Love is the magician that pulls man out of his own hat.

No man is truly married until he understands every word his wife is NOT saying.

Men love because they are afraid of themselves afraid of the loneliness that lives in them and need someone in whom they can lose themselves as smoke loses itself in the sky.

Love is an act of endless forgiveness a tender look which becomes a habit.
