Never both be angry at the same time.

Let marriage be held in honor among all...

Now you will feel no rain, for each of you will be shelter to the other. Now you will feel no cold, for each of you will be warmth to the other. Now you are two persons, but there is only one life before you. Go now to your dwelling place, to enter into the days of your togetherness, And may your days be good, and long together.
There shall be such a oneness between you that when one weeps, the other shall taste salt.
Marriage resembles a pair of shears, so joined that they cannot be separated; often moving in opposite directions, yet always punishing anyone who comes between them.
If ever two were one, then surely we. If ever man were lov'd by wife, then thee; If ever wife was happy in a man, Compare with me ye women if you can. I prize thy love more than whole Mines of gold, Or all the riches that the East doth hold. My love is such that Rivers cannot quench, Nor ought but love from thee, give recompense. Thy love is such I can no way repay, The heavens reward thee manifold Ipray. Then while we live, in love let's persevere, That when we live no more, we may live ever.
To get the full value of joy you must have someone to divide it with.
...he is more myself than I am. Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same...If all else perished and he remained, I should still continue to be, and if all else remained, and we were annihilated, the universe would turn to a might stranger...He's always, always in my mind; not as a pleasure to myself, but as my own being.
