A marriage contract to me is as binding as any in business and I have always believed in sticking to an agreement.

Marriage is not simply a romantic union between two people it's also a political and economic contract of the highest order.

The submission of her body without love or desire is degrading to the woman's finer sensibility all the marriage certificates on earth to the contrary notwithstanding.

Unfenced by law the unmarried lover can quit a bad relationship at any time. But you - the legally married person who wants to escape doomed love - may soon discover that a significant portion of your marriage contract belongs to the State and that it sometimes takes a very long while for the State to grant you your leave.

I have not supported same-sex marriage. I have supported civil partnerships and contractual relationships.

I'm 0 for 3 with marriage - the scoreboard doesn't lie never has. So what we all have is a marriage of the heart. To sully or contaminate or radically disrespect this union with a shameful contract is something that I will leave to the amateurs and the Bible grippers.

I believe marriage is between a man and a woman. I am not in favor of gay marriage. But when you start playing around with constitutions just to prohibit somebody who cares about another person it just seems to me that's not what America's about. Usually our constitutions expand liberties they don't contract them.

Marriage is a financial contract I have enough contracts already.

Any intelligent woman who reads the marriage contract and then goes into it deserves all the consequences.

To abandon oneself to principles is really to die - and to die for an impossible love which is the contrary of love.
