Gay marriage won't be more of an issue 25 years from now than interracial marriage is today.

My parents have a wonderful marriage for many years. But I can't commit myself for such a long time.

It won't take 40 years for opposition to same-sex marriage to dissipate.

When the first fossils began to be found in eastern Africa in the late 1950s I thought what a wonderful marriage this was biology and anthropology. I was around 16 years old when I made this particular choice of academic pursuit.

I have been doing marriage counseling for about 15 years and I realized that what makes one person feel loved doesn't make another person feel loved.

I did know Ted Hughes and I partly wrote the book to explain to myself and others the complexities of a marriage that was for six years wonderfully productive of poetry and then ended in tragedy.

Instead I think over the years we have cut the strength of marriage and relationships by the law and weakened the institution. We have tried to deal with relationships with no-fault divorce with child custody with so many other avenues and it has not helped.

I mean for all of his faults and the troubles in his marriage Bill Clinton is still married to a girl he met in the library 25 years ago at school. Can we say that about many of our other leaders today in America including on the right wing?

I've exchanged messages and photos of an explicit nature with about six women over the last three years. For the most part these communications took place before my marriage though some have sadly took place after.

I honestly believe you can never tell if a relationship is going to last. In my own marriage which is going on 14 years I don't think of it as 'I'm going to be with this person forever.' Instead I think of more like 'I'll probably be with this person for the next six weeks. Then I'll re-evaluate.'

I think the institute of marriage is a noble thing. The idea of a partner for life is incredibly romantic. But now we're living to 100. A hundred years ago people were dying at age 37. Til death do us part was a much different deal.

I don't want marriage. You know why? Because I did that. I did it for 32 years.

My kids have moved more in their twenties you know than my parents have moved in nearly 40-something years of marriage before they died. So there's a part of me that laments what we have lost and that is a sense of community.

People try much less hard to make a marriage work than they used to fifty years ago. Divorce is easier.

The priesthood is a marriage. People often start by falling in love and they go on for years without realizing that love must change into some other love which is so unlike it that it can hardly be recognized as love at all.
