I always like to say that our brand or our philosophy has always been kind of this marriage between the 'food as indulgence,' and it's also been about 'food as health,' that food is vitality.
— John Mackey
I made an awful mess of my first marriage. It was hard to live with me being me. I was so abnormal. I mean, most writers struggle. I hadn't struggled. I couldn't suddenly go down to the PEN Club and behave like a normal human being, because most of those guys were struggling to make a couple of thousand pounds a year.
— John le Carre
'Marley and Me' was a book I was proud of and believed in, but I thought it would just have a modest audience because it is such a personal story about my marriage and my family.
— John Grogan
For me, the marriage of publishing and politics simply weaves together the two family businesses.
— John F. Kennedy Jr.
In my family, as in all dysfunctional families, instead of parents who act as strong and nurturing role models for their children, you get these needy people who use their children. I was the kid who tried to take on the marriage.
— John Bradshaw
While 45 of the 50 States have either a State constitutional amendment or a statute that preserves the current definition of marriage, left-wing activist judges and officials at the local levels have struck down State laws protecting marriage.
— John Boehner
A psychiatrist asks a lot of expensive questions your wife asks for nothing.
— Joey Adams
Do not miss your children's childhood. Do not be away 200 nights a year as I was. Do not put strains on your marriage or family.
— Joe Scarborough
Marriage: love, honor, and negotiate.
— Joe Moore
Interpreting anyone's marriage - a neighbor's, let alone the president's - is extremely difficult. And yet, examining the first couple's relationship - their negotiations of public and private life, of conflicts and compromises - offers hints about Barack Obama the president, not just Barack Obama the husband.
— Jodi Kantor
It's so important to keep a marriage alive with small treats and doing little things for each other. Just remembering to say nice things and to have listening time is vital. That ghastly phrase 'quality time' means taking three minutes to sit down and be still with someone rather than yelling over your shoulder as you rush out.
— Joanna Lumley
Marriage requires effort and time and talking and connecting. You have to maintain it.
— Joanna Gaines
I am a fan of marriage and a fan of being committed to the right person.
— Joan Collins
I'm knocking our pitiful, pathetic lawmakers. And I thank God that President Bush has stated, we need a Constitutional amendment that states that marriage is between a man and a woman.
— Jimmy Swaggart
The media seems to think only abortion and gay marriage are religious issues. Poverty is a moral issue, it's a faith issue, it's a religious issue.
— Jim Wallis
A wife lasts only for the length of the marriage, but an ex-wife is there for the rest of your life.
— Jim Samuels
Marriage is survived just on the basis of ordinary etiquette, day in and day out. Also cooking together helps a lot... I've seen all these marriages that failed. Those people are always hollering at each other. That doesn't work.
— Jim Harrison
Marriages are made in heaven and consummated on Earth.
— John Lyly
My marriage and my career are my two top priorities.
— John Isner
The comfortable estate of widowhood is the only hope that keeps up a wife's spirits.
— John Gay
A word of encouragement from a teacher to a child can change a life. A word of encouragement from a spouse can save a marriage. A word of encouragement from a leader can inspire a person to reach her potential.
— John C. Maxwell
Protecting the institution of marriage safeguards, I believe, the American family.
It's the best marriage of songs and production. But I have to say, I have an affinity for Bossanova.
— Joey Santiago
I'm not for gay marriage, but I'm not for discriminating against people.
— Joel Osteen
Never stay in a bad marriage, and don't hang around with psycho coke fiends.
— Joe Rogan
I invented the psychological histories and the relationship between Jack and Susan Stanton. I didn't know anything about the Clintons. I don't know more about the Clintons' marriage than you do.
— Joe Klein
I guess there were things about the Obamas I discovered that I do think are universal to marriage. I found it very interesting in my reporting that their most difficult periods in the White House almost never seemed to coincide. When one was down, the other one was holding it together. In my experience, that's true of marriage generally.
I was 21 and had been going out with my boyfriend for two years when I found out I was pregnant - despite being told by doctors that I was sterile. Jamie's father and I hadn't discussed marriage, and to me, it wasn't something to be entered into just to stop gossip.
Marriage, as an institution, is as dead as the dodo bird.
— Joan Fontaine
When a gently born spinster has little money, her choices are few. She might receive an offer of marriage, but it's unlikely to be from a wealthy man, so she'll have a hard life trying to make ends meet for her growing family.
— Jo Beverley
Nobody, man or woman, has ever wrecked a good marriage.
— Jimmy Dean
The old welfare system was hurting people by discouraging work and marriage. Welfare reform, and now this legislation, will build on the understanding that work and strong families are the foundation upon which we build our future.
— Jim Talent
Here's the rule of thumb: When the entire family looks like the unibomber, they're against gay marriage.
— Jim Norton
Marriage is a religious and state issue.
— Jim DeMint
It's volatile, the marriage. Which one isn't? Nothing better than a good, full-on row. Get it all out. Say rude and nasty things. And then be sorry. Genuinely sorry, afterwards.
— John Lydon
I have a deep-seated belief that marriage is between a man and a woman exclusively.
— John Hogg
A good husband makes a good wife.
— John Florio
A sap run is the sweet goodbye of winter. It is the fruit of the equal marriage of the sun and frost.
— John Burroughs
And that is why marriage and family law has emphasized the importance of marriage as the foundation of family, addressing the needs of children in the most positive way.
Marriage is give and take. You'd better give it to her or she'll take it anyway.
I don't think that a same-sex marriage is the way God intended it to be.
Marriage should be a duet - when one sings, the other claps.
— Joe Murray
'The White Princess' follows Princess Lizzie, who was forced into marriage with Henry Tudor. It's kind of about how their marriage united the Yorks and the Tudors - the two families do rival but have to unite.
— Jodie Comer
Interpreting anyone's marriage - a neighbor's, let alone the president's - is extremely difficult.
I have a very realistic image of what marriage should be. It takes effort, but it shouldn't be the hardest thing that you do.
— Joanna Garcia
Having had five husbands, I guess I should know a thing or two about marriage.
The gay-rights community had a strategy going in; they thought that they needed to have 30 states with some form of recognition - whether that be marriage, whether it be civil unions - but they wanted to have 30 states signed on before they went to the federal courts.
— Jo Becker
I was a Christian. I didn't want to have sex before marriage, I was a bit uptight and not very self-confident. I was a virgin until I was 26.
— Jimmy Carr
I've always believed the two best anti-poverty programs are work and marriage.
I don't really like Phil Robertson and I think his opinion about gay marriage is stupid. But in a country where we want an honest conversation, we have to realize that part of the honest conversation is hearing things we don't like and discussing them.
