Paul Rudd Quotes

I was a commitment-phobic person. I never thought that I will settle down.

I like marriage. I feel very secure. It helps when you are in love with the person you are married to.

For a while I didn't believe in marriage. But I think I do believe in having a love. I'm not saying only one love ever, but in having a good, solid relationship. I think that's possible.

Monogamy is desirable for many reasons, especially in creating a stable, emotionally connected home for children. But judging from centuries of human behavior, it is also a very difficult standard to meet.

What is marriage but prostitution to one man instead of many?

I guess because it feels more open, but I think being married is way sexier, because it's really like your soul partner in a permanent fashion, and then you strive for it to be something permanent, and that type of commitment and trust, if you can achieve it, is so good for the soul.

An affair now and then is good for a marriage. It adds spice, stops it from getting boring... I ought to know.
