On the night of the winter solstice, when the dead get their annual reprieve, they go up to the 24-hour donut shop and wedding chapel to get hitched. Marriage is a good and proper pursuit for dead people. For a while, it relieves the dark, shuddering loneliness of the afterlife.
— Rachel Swirsky

— Pope John Paul II
It is essential that God created men and women to be one, as it is said in the first chapters of the Bible.

— Rachel Griffiths

— Pope Francis
Above all, we must have great respect for these people who also suffer and who want to find their own way of correct living. On the other hand, to create a legal form of a kind of homosexual marriage, in reality, does not help these people.
When I married Munna, people didn't give our marriage even two months to survive. But we lasted for 12 years. The first 10 were magical. He's a fair man, a wise man.

— Rachael Ray
A marriage is no amusement but a solemn act, and generally a sad one.
What do you think will happen in a forced marriage? With an uneducated man, an animal. What would I say, that I am already married? Why would I say it? I never accepted him as my husband in my heart or mind. How I spent a year and a half with him, only I know. And I only did it because of the child.
I think like any marriage, especially when you've had divorced parents like myself; you want to try even harder to make it work.

In our ecclesiastical region there are priests who don't baptize the children of single mothers because they weren't conceived in the sanctity of marriage. These are today's hypocrites. Those who clericalize the church. Those who separate the people of God from salvation.

If your neighbor has a completely different view on abortion, gay marriage, stem cell research, all of those things, you still are both Americans. Neither one of you is necessarily more patriotic than the other. Neither loves their country any more than the other one does.
Our relationship was one of the things that helped break up my first marriage. Miss Loren was always phoning me, and I'd go rushing all over Italy to be with her.
— Peter Sellers
The value of marriage is not that adults produce children but that children produce adults.
