Romantic Quotes about Marriage

Though there are many different kinds of love, the romantic love we feel with “the one” – whether we aren’t married yet, newlywed, or have been married for decades – is what sets this relationship apart.

Romance – defined as “a feeling of excitement and mystery associated with love” – has inspired writers, poets, musicians, and many others for generations. From the poetry of the Ancient Romans and Greeks to modern day movies, our fascination with love is part of what makes us human.

Keeping the flame of romantic love alive is one of the great challenges of marriage. Work, everyday tasks, pets, household chores, and looking after the kids are just some of the things that can make it difficult to prioritize making time for romance. But Psychology Today warns us that being romantic is a crucial part of maintaining, and growing, your relationship. What’s more, couples who fail to find time to be romantic with one another are less likely to stay together than those who do.

Finding romance doesn’t have to be difficult or time consuming. It could just be something as simple as turning your phones off during the evening, making time for a coffee date at the weekend , preparing a special meal together, sharing a bath, or kissing one another before leaving the house.

Making your relationship a priority – even when you have a lot on your plate – is vital for a long and happy marriage.

Whether you’re looking to remind yourself of the importance of romance, or for a sweet and meaningful way to confess your love to your spouse, these are some of the most romantic quotes ever.

Audrey Hepburn Marriage quote "If I get married, I want to be very married"

Let there be spaces in your togetherness, And let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. Fill each other’s cup but drink not from one cup. Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf. Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone, Even as the strings of a lute are alone though they quiver with the same music. Give your hearts, but not into each other’s keeping. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together: For the pillars of the temple stand apart, And the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow. Khalil Gibran, The Prophet
So it’s not gonna be easy. It’s going to be really hard; we’re gonna have to work at this everyday, but I want to do that because I want you. I want all of you, forever, everyday. You and me… everyday. Nicholas Sparks
If I know what love is, it is because of you. Hermann Hasse
The essence of marriage is companionship, and the woman you face across the coffee urn every morning for ninety-nine years must be both able to appreciate your jokes and to sympathize with your aspirations. Elbert Hubbard
To be fully seen by somebody, then, and be loved anyhow–this is a human offering that can border on miraculous. Elizabeth Gilbert

Noah Calhoun quote "The best love is the kind that awakens the soul and makes us reach for more, that plants a fire in our hearts and brings peace to our minds"

Love is like a beautiful flower which I may not touch, but whose fragrance makes the garden a place of delight just the same. Helen Keller
To say that one waits a lifetime for his soulmate to come around is a paradox. People eventually get sick of waiting, take a chance on someone, and by the art of commitment become soulmates, which takes a lifetime to perfect. Criss Jami
They slipped briskly into an intimacy from which they never recovered. F. Scott Fitzgerald
There is no greater happiness for a man than approaching a door at the end of a day knowing someone on the other side of that door is waiting for the sound of his footsteps. Ronald Reagan
If I had a flower for every time thought of you… I could walk through my garden forever. Alfred Lord Tennyson

Plato quote "Every heart sings a song, incomplete, until another heart whispers back. Those who wish to sing always find a song. At the touch of a lover, everyone becomes a poet"

I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where. I love you simply, without problems or pride: I love you in this way because I do not know any other way of loving but this, in which there is no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so intimate then when I fall asleep your eyes close. Pablo Neruda
I’m selfish, impatient and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I am out of control and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best. Marilyn Monroe
What is Love? I have met in the streets a very poor young man who was in love. His hat was old, his coat worn, the water passed through his shoes and the stars through his soul. Victor Hugo
I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me, this has always been enough. Nicholas Sparks
Who, being loved, is poor? Oscar Wilde

Edgar Allen Peo quote "We loved with a love that was more than love"

There is no remedy for love but to love more. Henry David Thoreau
What greater thing is there for two human souls, than to feel that they are joined for life–to strength each other in all labor, to rest on each other in all sorrow, to minister to each other in silent unspeakable memories at the moment of the last parting? George Eliot
There is never a time or place for true love. It happens accidentally, in a heartbeat, in a single flashing, throbbing moment. Sarah Dessen
You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams. Dr. Seuss
Your absence has not taught me to be alone , it merely has shown that when together we cast a single shadow on the wall. Doug Fetherling

Arrigo Boito quote "When I saw you I fell in love, and you smiled because you knew"

Marriages are like fingerprints; each one is different and each one is beautiful. Maggie Reyes
A happy marriage is a long conversation which always seems too short. Andre Maurois
There are a hundred paths through the world that are easier than loving. But who wants easier? Mary Oliver
You don’t love someone for their looks, or their clothes, or for their fancy car, but because they sing a song only you can hear. Oscar Wilde
When you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible. When Harry Met Sally

Mignon McLaughlin marriage quote "A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person"

Funny Marriage Quotes

However long you’ve been together, laughter is at the heart of a happy marriage.

Jeffrey Hall, of the University of Kansas, has analyzed 39 studies (with more than 15,000 participants) over the last 30 years to try to understand the role of laughter in marriage .

He found that “playfulness between romantic partners is a crucial component in bonding and establishing relational security” and that laughter, “particularly shared laughter, is an important indicator of romantic attraction between potential mates.”

Making each other laugh also has a significant impact on the relationship satisfaction couples feel. So, a good sense of humor shouldn’t just be something you look for at the start of a relationship – it should be something you continue to work on throughout your marriage.

So here are some funny marriage quotes to bring some giggles whether you share them together, or think about one another while you’re reading!

Inspiring Marriage Quotes

Marriage and romance are complex concepts that mean many different things to different people.

The idea of committing to spending your life with another person can seem a little overwhelming, because it means that you always have to take another person’s thoughts and feelings into consideration – when previously, you only had to worry about yourself.

Scary though embarking on marriage can be, it is also an incredibly joyful thing. A spouse is your life partner, best friend, lover, confidant, travel buddy, co-parent, and many other things.

This nature of this deep and meaningful relationship has invited plenty of discussion from philosophers, poets, writers, and other great minds throughout history .

Quotes for Newlyweds

Your wedding day should be one of the best days of your life.

Committing to your partner, declaring your love for one another, and bringing two families together is a joyous occasion! It’s also the start of what will hopefully be a long and happy life together.

They say the first year of marriage is the hardest, and in a way – it’s true!

Even if you’ve been together for a long time, the shift in your status can require some adjustment. You might also be learning how to live with one another, what each of you expects from your marriage, or navigating other personal issues together.

Whether you’re newly married, or just want to put some thoughtful wisdom for the happy couple in a wedding card, these marriage quotes are especially for newlyweds.

Robert C Dodds quote "The goal in marriage is not to think alike, but to think together"

Coming together is a beginning; keeping together is progress; working together is success. Henry Ford

I assumed all marriages which fail have one or both of the spouses doing something wrong and the wrongdoing leads to a breakup. I was wrong. Doing nothing is equally as bad. Because people don’t float together, they float apart. To stay together, you need a tether. To thrive, a couple must cling and cleave as if there’s a massive wave coming at them. Because there is a wave called drift – laziness, selfishness, convenience, comfortable, resentment, indiscipline, busy. And before long, you look around, and you lost sight of your spouse. Stay tethered: live your vows. Your relationship is counting on it. Ngina Otiende

Simply put, a marriage is not a marriage without the existence of two individuals who promised to love each other. Jessica Gardner

Dave Willis quote "Your marriage vows are most important in those moments when they are most difficult to keep"

Marriage is the highest state of friendship. If happy, it lessens our cares by dividing them, at the same time that it doubles our pleasures by mutual participation. Samuel Richardson
When two people become one by way of marriage, it is not only their hearts that are united, but their minds and souls as well. Julie Donner Anderson
The man who puts into marriage only half of what he owns will get that out. Ronald Reagan
A strong marriage rarely has two people strong at the same time. It is a husband and wife who take turns being strong for each other in the moment the other is weak. Ashley Willis
Marriage is another momentous life change. Choose right, and it might be the most positive decision you ever make. Patrick Foley

Khalil Gibran quote "Marriage is the golden ring in a chain whose beginning is a glance and whose ending is eternity"

Religious Marriage Sayings

Marriage remains an incredibly important tradition in every major religion in the world.

Though fewer people than ever are choosing to get married in a house of worship, it doesn’t mean that faith doesn’t play an important role in marriage anymore.

Many are still inspired by the scriptural teachings of their faith, and turn to them for advice on marital roles and achieving harmony. Their communities also play an important role in providing examples of good marriage, and helping couples make time to prioritize their relationship.

These beautiful religious marriage quotes are perfect to share with friends and family who have faith at the heart of their marriage.

Jennifer Garner Gives Her Shoes to Homeless Man

You don’t often witness moments of celebrities and paparazzi working together for the greater good, but then again Jennifer Garner isn’t like most celebrities. The actor is known for her charitable work and doing what it takes to help others, but this might be one of her most inspiring stories yet.

A Day of Kindness

Jennifer Garner caught on camera helping a homeless man.

YouTube/ X17onlineVideo

Recently, photographers captured Jennifer Garner helping people out in Santa Monica, California. The actor, dressed down in a white T-shirt and a trucker’s cap, was handing out supplies to homeless people by the beach.

One outlet recorded a video of her handing out the items, and the videographer happened to catch the moment when Garner realized the man in a wheelchair she was helping needed new shoes.

Wanting to assist, she got out of the car, removed the man's old shoes, and put fresh socks on his feet. She tried to put her own shoes on the man, but they didn’t fit. Garner then spotted the videographer following her and approached him with a simple request: could she buy his shoes?

Inspiring Good Acts

In the video, the man refused payment for his shoes and gave them to the man instead. Furthermore, Garner’s acts of kindness inspired him to go above and beyond as well: he added several items to the pile, including a blanket, some pants, and a fresh t-shirt.

“Jennifer Garner's selflessness reminds us all of the power of compassion and the positive impact one person can have on another's life,” the outlet wrote in its video caption.

In the video’s comments, people added their own thoughts, calling Garner a “real-life angel” and saying it was the nicest gesture they’ve ever seen from a celebrity.

“Anyone here who is doubtful of her actions, get a life, seriously,” one person wrote. “Would any other celebrity touch a homeless person’s feet and help change their pants at all? Would YOU do it?”

“There should be more movie stars helping people in need,” added someone else. “Jennifer is such a wholesome and kind person.”

“Usually, I'm skeptical about recorded good deeds of celebs or influencers since it's too often about their narcissistic need for attention. However, this here, is clearly a woman who acted out of concern and empathy. Well done, Jennifer. Well done,” wrote someone else.

We Are All the Same

One of the most touching parts of this story is that, at the end of the day, we are all human. And sometimes, we all need help. Some people have more than others, whether that be health, money , status, privilege, or something else. But having more doesn’t make one person better than another, and it doesn’t mean we can’t stop to help a fellow human being in need.

Garner, who on the surface seems to have been given a pretty decent hand in life, knows that. Her actions with that homeless man prove it. More importantly, by showcasing her kindness and empathy, she inspired others to help in their own ways.

At the end of the day, kindness is what makes the world go round, no matter who you are. Lead with it and remember it when you’re in a position to help someone else. One day, when you need it most, it will also show up for you.

Man Forgets Girlfriend After Tragedy, She Won Him Over Again

It seems like Cody Bryant and his girlfriend Haley Woloshen are destined to be together.

In a story that's giving off some serious 50 First Dates vibes, the couple was torn apart after a horrific car accident left Cody in a coma. Suffering a traumatic brain injury, he had no memories of their previous life together.

But true love? Knows no bounds. And just like the best rom-com, this couple is now living their happily ever after.

Tragedy Strikes

After a horrific car accident, Cody Bryant ended up in a coma with a serious brain injury.

Cody Bryant/TikTok

When Hayley and Cody met while vacationing in Hawaii in 2022, sparks flew. It felt like kismet, especially when they discovered they lived just a mile apart in their hometown of Los Angeles.

They spent a few blissful weeks getting to know each other and falling in love.

But then, out of the blue, it all came to a screeching halt.

Cody stopped calling. He stopped texting. It was as if he'd fallen off the face of the earth. Hayley thought he had lost interest. But it turns out, he wasn't ghosting her...he was in a coma.

Cody shares their "insane" love story in a now-viral TikTok that he captions, "50 First Dates or make our own movie?" And it just goes to prove, sometimes? Life really does imitate art.

The one-minute clip features a montage of photos and videos over the course of their relationship with text overlay. It starts off with a bang,

"I wasn't ghosting her, I was in a coma."

Cody continues, "I had actually been hit by a car and was in a coma."

Cody was driving a moped through Ibiza, Spain when he was struck by a taxi driver. He ended up in ICU with a traumatic brain injury and a fractured femur as a result. Spanish doctors questioned if he would even survive.

Haley only learned of the accident after doing some internet sleuthing on the guy she thought had ghosted her (as one does). That's when she stumbled across a GoFundMe page set up by his family to help offset his astronomical medical bills.

"You Always Meet Someone Twice"

@codys.comeback 50 First Dates or make our own movie?🙊🤍 #dating #relationship #fyp #love #datingstorytime #recovery #girlfriend

When Cody woke up from his coma he had no memory of the past year, including Haley and their time together.

"Plot twist: because of my brain injury, I actually had no memory of our pre-accident connection."

But when it comes to true love, NOTHING can stand in its way.

Eventually, Cody was transferred to a full-time rehab facility in Los Angeles. Diagnosed with partial paralysis, he had to relearn how to walk and perform even the simplest of tasks. After months of rehabilitative therapies, he reconnected with Haley as "friends." But despite having no recollection of their relationship, it was obvious something was still there.

"Neither of us expected it, but feelings started to build," he writes. "I joke that she won me over a second time."

Cody admits that navigating boundaries between a relationship and caregiving was challenging "but I couldn't be happier with where we are."

"We've built a strong foundation in the most terrible of situations," he continues. "We've been together over a year now." And if the pictures are any indication, they are blissfully happy.

Love Can Move Mountains

@codys.comeback second time’s the charm ;) #dating #relationships #love #romance #datingtok #trend #fyp

Cody continues to deal with the aftermath of his accident. Traumatic brain injuries don't heal overnight and even two years later, he's still in intense, full-time therapy.

"Some of my next goals are relearning how to write, run, and swim," he writes in an update on his GoFundMe.

He continues to struggle with memory issues and uses notes for everything.

"My brain doesn’t “auto save” anymore so I use notes for everything. In order to accomplish a goal, I avoid multitasking and each step must be small," he shares. He has persistent brain fog and his attention is fleeting.

But with Haley by his side as his biggest cheerleader, he's been able to climb mountains, figuratively AND literally. Against all odds and the doctors who originally believed he'd be in a vegetative state for the rest of his life, Cody and Haley attended their friends' wedding in Guatemala in March.

While there, Cody completed a two-day hike to summit the Acetenango volcano. Haley was right by his side.

Despite the profound challenges posed by the car accident and subsequent memory loss, it's obvious that these two are meant to be together. Because true love? Always finds a way.

Final Thoughts

We’ve covered everything from the importance of mutual respect and true friendship to the power of love and romance, and even included a few humorous quotes to bring a smile to your face.

But the truth is, no matter how many quotes we read or how much inspiration we find, a great marriage is ultimately about the two people in it. It’s about the moments you share, the memories you create, and the love you give to each other every day.

As someone who has had an unsuccessful marriage, a very happy marriage, and who has spent thousands of hours studying marriage and relationships, I can tell you that it’s not always easy.

There are times when you’ll disagree, when you’ll feel frustrated, and when you’ll wonder if you’re doing the right things. But at the end of the day, it’s those tough moments that make you stronger and that bring you closer together.

So, whether you’re newly married, celebrating your 50th anniversary, or still looking for that special person, remember that a great marriage is something that takes time, effort, and patience. But with the right inspiration and the right mindset, it’s something that you can achieve and enjoy for a lifetime.

And on that note, I’ll leave you with one final quote that sums it all up:

“A great marriage is not when the ‘perfect couple’ comes together. It’s when an imperfect couple learns to enjoy their differences.” – Dave Meurer

So go out there, enjoy your differences, and create the best marriage possible. You’ve got this!
