Courtship to marriage is as a very witty prologue to a very dull play. – William Congreve, The Old Bachelor, 1693
Let us be honest with each other. The threat to marriage is not the gays. It is a lack of loving commitment – whether it is found in the form of neglect, indifference, cruelty or adultery, to name just a few manifestations of the loveless desert in which too many marriages come to grief. – Malcolm Turnbull
