36 Quotes About Marriage That Really Sum It All Up


As they say in The Princess Bride, "Mawwiage. Mawwiage is what bwings us togeder today."

These quotes are perfect for new love, old love, and everything in between. There's something for every type of couple — whether you're looking for something funny, something romantic, something specifically for your wife, specifically for your husband, or even quotes that offer some inspiring advice. Whichever fits the bill, they'll definitely bring back those butterflies you felt on your wedding day, and help you remember why you married your person.
