What I've learned about marriage: You need to have each other's back you have to be a kind of team going through life.

I'm extremely fascinated by marriage. I want to study marriage. I want to learn about it. I want to know it. I want to figure out whether or not I want to do it. I'm not just going to leap into it because that's not good for anybody.

Well marriage doesn't function in the way it used to in terms of deciding our fate but it's in our heads and it determines a lot of our actions. Like right now if you think about gay marriage - and they just started having the first gay marriages in New York - it shows what a potent idea marriage remains for people.

The rule with marriage is the less you talk about it the better as far as I can tell.

I don't have this fantasy about marriage anymore. Everyone says it takes hard work. Well it kind of does - and I'm much more pragmatic about romance than I used to be.

I am very old-fashioned about marriage. It is for life and I mean it. I always knew that when I met the right girl the life I had before - being single in a band girls everywhere - would be over.

The way that same-sex marriage should reach the federal level is that it absolutely should be decided by the Supreme Court as quickly as possible. It's a 14th Amendment issue. There's no argument about it.

I was born to be married. I just feel comfortable there. I love the idea of being partnered for ever. I love my girlfriend we've been best friends since I was 18. There's not a thing we haven't been through except for marriage... We've had talks about what we would name our kids since we were in our 20s.

Most Americans don't care about gay marriage.

I don't think there's anything they can say about me that I haven't said about myself already. And I would be an absolute total liar and my fans would not respect me if I said that my life and my marriage are perfect. But we absolutely love each other we have fun together - it's great.

I can look back at different times in my life when I felt I could not find my way out of whatever it was. I'm not necessarily talking about marriage but I wanted to pack it in. I wanted to disappear. A lot of that has to do with being in the public eye.

In a bad marriage friends are the invisible glue. If we have enough friends we may go on for years intending to leave talking about leaving - instead of actually getting up and leaving.

In 1989 when I switched from Democrat to Republican with God as my witness not one thing changed about what I believed about one man and one woman in a marriage or about diversity of color. That's a good thing.

I have a lot of skepticism about marriage and monogamy.

There was a time in the marriage when I could no longer look at myself in a mirror couldn't feel I was a nice person. A bad relationship can do that can make you doubt everything good you ever felt about yourself.

Right now I'm not really thinking about marriage.

I'm not convinced about marriage. Divorce is so easy and that fact that gay people are not allowed to marry takes much of the meaning out of it. Committing yourself to one person is sacred.

I don't have any romantic ideas about marriage. Trust me. A white dress... ? No. It's not something for me.

I never had a policy about marriage. I got married very young in life and I always think in all relationships I've always thought that it's counterproductive to have a theory on that.

I firmly believe in marriage. It's a real important decision that takes a lot of dedication and time. If you're thinking about divorce. You shouldn't get married.

The ceremony took six minutes. The marriage lasted about the same amount of time though we didn't get a divorce for almost a year.

After about 20 years of marriage I'm finally starting to scratch the surface of what women want. And I think the answer lies somewhere between conversation and chocolate.

A woman asking 'Am I good? Am I satisfied?' is extremely selfish. The less women fuss about themselves the less they talk to other women the more they try to please their husbands the happier the marriage is going to be.

I've yet to be on a campus where most women weren't worrying about some aspect of combining marriage children and a career. I've yet to find one where many men were worrying about the same thing.
