Miriam Margolyes Quotes

Often, marriage was solitude, with company.

My husband is my buddy; he's my lover. We share lots of things.

My husband and I always have fun together in everything we do. Some people call me crazy, but the reality is that I enjoy spending each second with him. He is not just my husband - he is my rock and my very best friend!

I'm married to my best friend!

Love is our true destiny. We do not find the meaning of life by ourselves alone - we find it with another.

We were married for almost 45 years. We fought all the time, it wasn't a great love or anything, it wasn't a great, all-consuming passion. She was just there. A lot of people were startled because we didn't seem devoted but we were.

I love being married more than anyone. It's what I always wanted. I found the person who's perfect for me, and we have a great time and a great partnership.

More belongs to marriage than four legs in a bed.

Love is like nothing else on this earth, but only when it is shared with someone wonderful like you.

Love is such that God grants us one person who we can spend the rest of our life with. It rarely happens that we don't.

I always used to say to my wife, the thing that I loved most about us is that we are a team, we are impenetrable in that respect.

When you make the sacrifice in marriage, you're sacrificing not to each other but to unity in a relationship.

My eyes and spirit have opened up since I found someone that I get to share my life with.

I'm a much healthier person through my relationship with my husband. I've become a more fulfilled person - it's a great partnership.

I love being married.
