I have chosen these two quotes today after seeing the title of Lisa's thread about romance.

One for the gentlemen: from Ogden Nash 1902-71 in 'A word to Husbands' To keep your marriage brimming With love in the loving cup, Whenever you're wrong, admit it, Whenever you're right, shut up and for the ladies from H. L. Mencken 1880 -1956 No matter how happily a woman may be married, it always pleases her to discover that there is a nice man who wishes she were not That should provide thought for today for you all.

Hi Dee, Two quotes I like are Friedrich Nietzsche: It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages. Simone Signoret: Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads which sew people together through the years. It's our anniversary on Tuesday. Gwynne

I'd say both quotes were equally true for both sexes ;)

Being each others best mate. Knowing that you both have faults but loving each in spite of. Being able to laugh (& cry) together. Knowing that altho you cant do anything about what caused the hurt you have the shoulder to cry on if nec. In short me & my best mate ,hubby , married 48 years on 3rd aug. Shirley
