“There is no more lovely, friendly and charming relationship, communion or company than a good marriage.” ― Martin Luther

“The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.” ― Audrey Hepburn

“Marriage: Love is the reason. Lifelong friendship is the gift. Kindness is the cause. Til’ death do us part is the length.” ― Fawn Weaver

“To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial. To be known and not loved is our greatest fear. But to be fully known and truly loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God. It is what we need more than anything. It liberates us from pretense, humbles us out of our self-righteousness, and fortifies us for any difficulty life can throw at us.” ― Timothy Keller, The Meaning of Marriage: Facing the Complexities of Commitment with the Wisdom of God

“A happy marriage is a long conversation which always seems too short.” ― Andre Maurois

“When I have learned to love God better than my earthly dearest, I shall love my earthly dearest better than I do now.” – C. S. Lewis

Encouraging Marriage Quotes from Katie & Alec Photography

“Love is an act of endless forgiveness; a tender look which becomes a habit.”― Peter Ustinov

“A happy marriage is about three things: memories of togetherness, forgiveness of mistakes, and a promise to never give up on each other.” —Surabhi Surendra

“It takes three to make love, not two: you, your spouse, and God. Without God people only succeed in bringing out the worst in one another. Lovers who have nothing else to do but love each other soon find there is nothing else. Without a central loyalty life is unfinished.”― Fulton J. Sheen, Seven Words of Jesus and Mary: Lessons from Cana and Calvary

“A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person.” ―  Mignon McLaughlin

“The remedy for most marital stress is not in divorce. It is in repentance and forgiveness, in sincere expressions of charity and service. It is not in separation. It is in simple integrity that leads a man and a woman to square up their shoulders and meet their obligations. It is found in the Golden Rule, a time-honored principle that should first and foremost find expression in marriage.” ― Gordon B. Hinckley

“Don’t ever stop dating your wife and don’t ever stop flirting with your husband.” – Unknown

I want to be someone’s forever.”― Rachel Gibson, The Trouble With Valentine’s Day

“A good marriage is a contest of generosity.” – Diane Sawyer

“Treat marriage like a diamond necklace; if broken, fix it, but do not throw it away.”― Matshona Dhliwayo

Camelot Manor Wedding - Birmingham, Alabama Wedding Photographers Katie & Alec Photography
