How to use Marriage in a sentence?

  1. Paul Tournier:

    That is what marriage really means: helping one another to reach the full status of being persons, responsible and autonomous beings who do not run away from life.

  2. Randolph Ray:

    Kindness is the life's blood, the elixir of marriage. Kindness makes the difference between passion and caring. Kindness is tenderness. Kindness is love, but perhaps greater than love ... Kindness is good will. Kindness says, 'I want you to be happy.' Kindness comes very close to the benevolence of God.

  3. Joseph Joubert:

    Choose in marriage only a woman whom you would choose as a friend if she were a man.

  4. Ben Domenech:

    Jeb can argue he had a more conservative record as governor, but that just may not count much with an electorate that remembers his father for a tax hike and his brother for two wars, jeb will have to battle those ghosts in order to get the nomination. He'll also have to navigate a field with multiple candidates who have every incentive to turn him into a creature of the past and brand themselves as the way of the future, to attack him as a Common Core-pushing technocrat, as soft on gay marriage, or as a lover of amnesty.

  5. Pearl S. Buck:

    Nothing in life is as good as the marriage of true minds between man and woman. As good? It is life itself.
