This week, I’m out of town learning how to be a new husband. In light of my recent marriage, I thought it appropriate to share some insights on the subject of marriage, all wrapped up in friendship, love, conflict and relationship. Enjoy these quotes, and I’ll write again soon.

Friendship, Love and Conflict in Marriage
- “Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking together in the same direction.” – Antoine de Saint-Exupery
- “Man’s best friend is a good wife.” – Thomas Edison via @docmac45
- “The course of true love never did run smooth.” – Shakespeare
- “We feasted on love; every mode of it, solemn and merry, romantic and realistic, sometimes as dramatic as a thunderstorm, sometimes ad comfortable and unemphatic as putting on your soft slippers. She was my pupil and my teacher, my subject and my sovereign, my trusty comrade, friend, shipmate, fellow-soldier. My mistress, but at the same time, all that any man friend has ever been to me.” – C.S. Lewis
- “Marriage is not a machine that needs routine maintenance to keep it functioning, but a supernatural event founded upon a mutual exchange of holy pledges. Above all, marriage is a deep, mysterious, and unfathomable endeavor.” – Les & Leslie Parrott
- “Anyone without a soul friend is like a body without a head.” – Celtic proverb
- “Marriage doesn’t create problems. It reveals them. You bring unresolved stuff into it.” - @RickWarren
- “Love is not merely a feeling. ‘Being in love’ moved them to promise fidelity: this quieter love enables them to keep it.” – C.S. Lewis
- “There is a sword between the sexes till an entire marriage reconciles them.” – C.S. Lewis
- “To get divorced because love has died, is like selling ur car because it’s run out of gas.” – Diane Sollee via @craiggroeschel
