Even married people have differences of opinion, I'm told.

Married people from my generation are like an endangered species!

We're so marriage-obsessed, we think that only married people are families.

Only married people understand you can be miserable and happy at the same time.

Married people should not be quick to hear what is said by either when in ill humor.

Perhaps the single most robust fact across many surveys is that married people are happier than anyone else.

There is no guarantee what will give you happiness any which way. I know many married people who are unhappy.

It's a particularly modern myth that married people are best friends. The best-friend concept is a uniquely female phenomena.

Saw a wedding in the church. It was strange to see what delight we married people have to see these poor fools decoyed into our condition.

A simple enough pleasure, surely, to have breakfast alone with one's husband, but how seldom married people in the midst of life achieve it.

Strange, to see what delight we married people have to see these poor fools decoyed into our condition, every man and wife gazing and smiling at them.

For a while, I thought the great disappointment of my life was that I don't have a family of my own. Then it dawned on me: That's not what I think; that's what married people think.

A lot of married people certainly have wonderful relationships with their dogs, but when you're single and your dog is the only other living thing in your house, it's a really special relationship which I wanted CATHY to have.

Nobody ever wins by the cavalry coming to rescue you. It isn't a question of you're happy if you get married, or you get thin, or you get rich, because I've known lots of thin, rich, married people who are absolutely miserable.

When you admit that you are married, people try to get skeletons out of your closet. They dig into your personal lives and link you with strangers, which could be detrimental. They also want to know details about your marriage, children, and so on. I wanted to keep it private because I only want my work to speak.
