Mark Twain may not be known for many positive quotes about marriage, but he knocks it out of the park when it comes to love! From the beginning stages to long-term love, no-one captures those feelings quite like Mark Twain.

A Marriage by Mark Twain

A marriage makes of two fractional lives a whole;
It gives two purposeless lives a work,
And doubles the strength of each to perform it.
It gives to two questioning natures a reason for living
And something to live for.
It will give new gladness to the sunshine,
A new fragrance to the flowers, a new beauty to the earth
And a new mystery to life.
