Marriage

Regarding marriage, it somehow, it didn't happen. One fellow in such a big family not getting married is not an issue.

Marriage is neither heaven nor hell, it is simply purgatory.

They dream in courtship, but in wedlock wake.

I am fiscally prudent and socially progressive. I believe in protecting a woman's right to choose. I believe in marriage equality.

Marriage equality changed life for people.

I think that gay marriage should be between a man and a woman.

If I get married, I want to be very married.

I opposed the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996. It should be repealed and I will vote for its repeal on the Senate floor. I will also oppose any proposal to amend the U.S. Constitution to ban gays and lesbians from marrying.

I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. I am not in favor of gay marriage. But when you start playing around with constitutions, just to prohibit somebody who cares about another person, it just seems to me that's not what America's about. Usually, our constitutions expand liberties, they don't contract them.

I think there are a whole host of things that are civil rights, and then there are other things such as traditional marriage that, I think, express a community's concern and regard for a particular institution.

I don't think marriage is a civil right, but I think that being able to transfer property is a civil right.

What I believe is that marriage is between a man and a woman, but what I also believe is that we have an obligation to make sure that gays and lesbians have the rights of citizenship that afford them visitations to hospitals, that allow them to be, to transfer property between partners, to make certain that they're not discriminated on the job.

No man is regular in his attendance at the House of Commons until he is married.

Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, half shut afterwards.

Marriage is the most natural state of man, and... the state in which you will find solid happiness.
