My first marriage was totally unsuitable and shouldn't have happened. It was a whirlwind rebound thing. I was 23 or 24 - a baby.

How do you explain the bond between man and wife? Well for one thing it's private. What people do in their own marriage is their own business.

Seeing unhappiness in the marriage of friends I was content to have chosen music and laughter as a substitute for a husband.

I was sent to a nice Church of England girls' school and at that time after university a woman was expected to become a teacher a nurse or a missionary - prior to marriage.

I think one reason for a successful marriage is laughter. I think laughter gets you through the rough moments in a marriage.

Any sex outside of the marriage bond between a man and a woman is violating God's law.

Marriage is something that needs to be worked on every day. I don't know if I'm the one to give marital advice since I've only been married for a little over a year but marriage is certainly easier if you are open trusting and loving.

You have to work for everything. Marriage should not be any different.

Marriage is too interesting an experiment to be tried only once.

Same-sex marriage would eliminate entirely in law the basic idea of a mother and a father for every child. It would create a society which deliberately chooses to deprive a child of either a mother or a father.
