What is marriage and if it is important or not? Two people can be together without getting married, they can live together, they can fight like husband and wife and they can start a family without getting married too. Then what does involving the family, a grand party and some traditions bring to the couple in the relationship? Frankly speaking, it brings validation in the eyes of society and the law. You might say that both of these institutions are nowadays readily accepting families coming out of unmarried couples too. Correct, then my answer would be, that marriage might strengthen the sense of responsibility, belongingness, and exclusiveness between two people in love. It is purely just a feeling, other than that, if love, trust, and respect are there, than it does not matter if you are married or not. So here are the best marriage quotes and sayings for you to look up to if you are married, or if you are planning on getting married, or for any other reason.
You can obviously spend your whole life with someone without getting married, totally your choice as a couple. But like everything in life has stages to it, relationships also have stages and one of them is getting married. Just make sure you do it as an accomplishment and as a milestone and not as the result of some kind of duty or pressure.
So take a look at these lovely marriage quotes and sayings if you are anywhere near the stage in life where marriage is involved:
