Famous quotes containing the words marriage and/or issue:

    “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.”
    —Barbara Cartland (b. 1901)

    “Most people see no reason to stop arguing just because an issue has been decided.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
