Better to marry unhappily 100 times than to live happily forever in sin.
It's like the old thing: The parents stay together for the kids, but the kids know that you don't want to be together. The kids would rather you be happy - and separate - than together and miserable. I don't want my kid to grow up around two parents who just don't work.
I tried to be a good wife, but I was lost in my gilded cage.
Just staying together is not a real virtue, if you're not happy. Or you're being denied. Or one person is being squashed. Or you really don't love each other; you're just there out of habit. That doesn't work, no matter how many years you stay together.
Bride: A woman with a fine prospect of happiness behind her.
Honestly speaking, after seeing my parents' marriage, I have lost all faith in marriage.
My father and mother were not that compatible. I don't think they had a good wedding night, and I was the product of that. We weren't close.
Many a marriage hardly differs from prostitution, except being harder to escape from.
Most of the people I know, their marriages went down the drain, like mine - something I am not proud of.
I thought divorce was for people that threw plates at each other, and I'd have to be an alcoholic or having affairs. But the truth is, sometimes a very sweet, well-meaning person just doesn't do it for you, and you need to get out of there.
Some people who think they are in unhappy marriages are just in unhappy bodies.
You want a happy romantic relationship? Don’t ruin it by getting married.
Married sex is like being awake during your own autopsy. It is root canal work without anesthetic.
Hope died as I was led unto my marriage bed.
About my marriage life, it has been pretty painful, pretty sad. I can't say there was no unpleasantness at all. I can't say it was smooth and happy or anything. There were lot of painful experiences we both went through.
We shouldn't have got married, really. Shouldn't have got married. Too young. Not ready for it.
But I had promised my husband never to accept another engagement. It was not a very happy time for me.
A marriage is likely to be called happy if neither party ever expected to get much happiness out of it.

It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.
I was married to the number one douchebag of all time.
I think it's quite common and realistic. There are many stories like this [in Waitress]. [Jenna, my character] marriage looks really horrible up on the screen but I think there are a lot of people in bad relationships who wake up and think to themselves: "Wow, how did I end up here? Why am I still here and so unhappy and not satisfied with my life?"
Being married sucked. Maybe for some people it is not meant to be.
A wedding is one of the most lamentable spectacles on earth.
I think it's almost immoral to keep on with a marriage that's really bad. It just gets more and more rotten and vindictive and everybody gets more and more hurt. There's not enough honesty about marriage, I think. I wish more people would face the truth about their marital situations.
