'T is safest in matrimony to begin with a little aversion.
I asked of Echo 't other day
(Whose words are few and often funny),
What to a novice she could say
Of courtship, love, and matrimony.
Quoth Echo, plainly,--"Matter-o'-money."
Matrimony is an indissoluble sacrament
The bonds of matrimony are like any other bonds--they mature slowly.
(Matrimony) is not by any to be entered into unadvisedly or lightly; but reverently, discreetly, advisedly, soberly, and in the fear of God.
In matrimony, to hesitate is sometimes to be saved.
