— Tommy Cooper
No comedian's wife thinks he's funny. The first few years of the marriage, maybe. I was funny as hell the first couple of years.
— Tom Smothers
From the new hate crimes law to the repeal of DOMA and 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell,' to the emerging popular support for marriage equality, we are making progress at breakneck speed. As someone who has dedicated most of my career to civil rights law, I am deeply moved by this sea change and proud to have done my part.
— Tom Perez
Drew is a wonderful woman. I love her very much. I wish our marriage could have worked out. I wish her much happiness.
— Tom Green
I've interviewed presidents and royalty, rock stars and movie stars, famous generals and captains of industry; I've had front row seats at Super Bowls, World Series, and Olympic Games; my books have been on best-seller lists, and my marriage is a long-running success.
— Tom Brokaw
I oppose any attempt to grant homosexual unions the same legal privileges that civil government affords to traditional marriage and family life.

Good production is like a beautiful marriage. It makes a happy home.
— Timbaland
I believe all people, regardless of sexual orientation, should be guaranteed the full rights to the legal benefits and responsibilities of marriage under the Constitution.
— Tim Kaine
The institution of marriage holds society together. We can't replace the family.
— Tim Huelskamp
It's become a cliche to think of marriage as a disaster area and a war zone.
— Tim Daly
In marriage, compromise nurtures the relationship.
— Tim Allen
I think it's something that needs to be said - that there are interracial marriages out there, and the couples live happy lives, and there's nothing wrong with it.
— Tia Mowry
Married life is the same as dating life, except now you have a ring, and the state of California has a vested financial interest in the outcome of your marriage.
— Thomas Middleditch
Their lives have been largely defined by failure and you would think the prospect of marriage, which is supposed to be bountiful and hopeful, it's just really another kind of tangential thing in his life.
— Thomas Haden Church
We need a Congress that understands the sanctity of life, the sanctity of traditional values, the sanctity of traditional marriage.

Same sex marriage, it's not a big concern to me.
— Tomi Lahren
ABC's intelligently hilarious sitcom 'Modern Family' depicts a gay-male marriage in which both partners are refreshingly dimensional, believable human beings. The writers dare to make them flawed and thus fully delineated, but they're not flawed in the silly, stereotypical ways that once dominated such portrayals.
— Tom Shales
For the purposes of the FMLA, marriage will now be determined based on where the couple got married, not on where an employee lives. This is called a 'place of celebration' rule.
It was just a very short period of time that I had a brief marriage.
Next month, I will celebrate my 30th anniversary of marriage with my beautiful bride, Vicki. Our marriage has been a blessing. I have gained even more respect for the institution over the past 3 decades and will defend it against attack.
— Todd Tiahrt
Was President Obama's endorsement of gay marriage crassly political? God, I hope so.
— Timothy Noah
When you're so close to material, it would be as if you had come out of a bad marriage. You would be so close to it that you would be paying attention to detail that may not mean a whole lot for the reader.
— Tim O'Brien
After lengthy consideration, my views have evolved sufficiently to support marriage equality legislation. This position doesn't require any religious denomination to alter any of its tenets; it simply forbids government from discrimination regarding who can marry whom.
— Tim Johnson
Kids need a mom and a dad, and people understand that. Marriage between a mom and a dad is most important for kids.
To me, this is the perfect marriage. There's no friction. There's just, we have what they need, they have what we need. And so IBM is in the process, with our help, of designing many different apps for many different verticals.
— Tim Cook
After marriage, my love won't be divided between my mom and my wife. It will be doubled. My mom has always been as much my hero as my father.
— Tiger Shroff
Marriage is a bribe to make the housekeeper think she's a householder.
— Thornton Wilder
Marriage is anti-romantic - husband and wife are terms like 'turkey' and 'goose.' Worse, they denote ownership.
— Thomas McGuane
A man may do worse than make what the world calls a not wholly happy marriage.
— Thomas Bailey Aldrich
If we are going to realise our ambition of ending the harmful practices of FGM and forced marriage, the role of young people in pushing for change is crucial. We also need to ensure that everyone, from government to civil society, is playing their part.
— Theresa May
The institution of marriage, if you look at it over many centuries, has come and gone.
In a broken marriage, it can be challenging and tough to get that work/life balance. I love performing but I also love being a mum, and I hate having to choose between them.
— Toni Braxton
Political conservatives need to recognize that multicultural politics is converging with leftist politics, and not only on 'social issues' like same-sex marriage. Our Constitution is also on the chopping block, and if you don't see that, you haven't been paying attention.
— Tom Tancredo
What I've learned about marriage: You need to have each other's back; you have to be a kind of team going through life.
— Tom Petty
If we repealed all the laws of the world marriage would still exist.
— Tom McClintock
Marriage is a sign of commitment between two people and something I always thought would happen when I was a kid.
— Tom Daley
There were interesting ways that queerness could hide out and get played out pre-Stonewall. It is part of a vast history that is getting forgotten quickly as we trumpet forward into gay marriage and gays in the military and a much different cultural attitude toward gay lives.
— Todd Haynes
Instead, I think over the years we have cut the strength of marriage and relationships by the law and weakened the institution. We have tried to deal with relationships with no-fault divorce, with child custody, with so many other avenues; and it has not helped.
— Timothy Murphy
More than 1.1 million taxpayers in Pennsylvania will enjoy a lower tax rate, more than 1.4 million married couples will benefit from the reduction in the marriage penalty, and more than 1.1 million parents will have the advantage of an increased child tax credit.
— Tim Murphy
In many ways, the crumbling of the institution of marriage is the real 'war on women.' Marriage is the civilizing influence for men and for families.
Marriage can be tough. It really is. But God is calling you to do everything you can. It's just not you and your spouse. There's a third person in your marriage. And God would like to bless and protect that marriage, and give you many fruitful days ahead.
I was gone so much in my first marriage. I love the moments when I engage with my youngest daughter now. It's not my thing to sit on the ground and play tea party, but I'll do it because it's a moment that will stick with me forever.
We don't put gender roles on our marriage and our relationship. If I'm working a lot and Cory's home, he will put Cree to bed, and if dishes need to be washed, he will wash them. So it's not like, 'Oh, I'm going to wait until my wife gets home, and she's going to be doing all that.'
Romantic love is an illusion. Most of us discover this truth at the end of a love affair or else when the sweet emotions of love lead us into marriage and then turn down their flames.
— Thomas Moore
Marriage may often be a stormy lake, but celibacy is almost always a muddy horse pond.
— Thomas Love Peacock
To the mass of mankind - meaning also womankind - marriage may be the only possible thing; but to the individual, it may be the one thing impossible.
I believe in marriage. I believe marriage is a really important institution, it's one of the most important institutions we have.
