"The bonds of matrimony are like any other bonds – they mature slowly." ― Peter De Vries Topic(s): Marriage More From Peter De Vries "Who of us is mature enough for offspring before the offspring themselves arrive? The value of marriage is not that adults produce children but that children produce adults." "I write when I’m inspired, and I see to it that I’m inspired at nine o’clock every morning." "Gluttony is an emotional escape, a sign something is eating us." More In Marriage "My parents’ marriage was very rocky. They were always arguing. When they split up when I was in my 20s, my brother and I were both delighted because we knew they weren’t good for each other."― Gail Porter "I have seen great intolerance shown in support of tolerance."― Samuel Taylor Coleridge "I’m done with men… I’m going to be alone. I have no luck with relationships. I don’t think I’m made for marriage."― Halle Berry
