Unhappy Marriages Quotes By Dalma Heyn

Married women are far more depressed than married men
in unhappy marriages, three times more; and
interestingly
in happy marriages, five times more. In truth, it is men who are thriving in marriage, now as always, and who show symptoms of psychological and physical distress outside it. Not only their emotional well-being but their very lives, some studies say, depend on being married! — Dalma Heyn

Unhappy Marriages Quotes By Helen Fisher

As women in industrial societies join the paid workforce, they gain the economic means to depart unhappy marriages more easily. — Helen Fisher

Unhappy Marriages Quotes By Pearl Mary Teresa Craigie

Those who have made unhappy marriages walk on stilts, while the happy ones are on a level with the crowd. No one sees 'em! — Pearl Mary Teresa Craigie

Unhappy Marriages Quotes By Friedrich Nietzsche

It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages. — Friedrich Nietzsche

Unhappy Marriages Quotes By Joan Rivers

Half of all marriages end in divorce- and then there are the really unhappy ones. — Joan Rivers

Unhappy Marriages Quotes By Michael Palin

It was a strange feeling going into a church I did not know for a service that I did not really believe in, but once inside I couldn't help a feeling of warmth and security. Outside there were wars and road accidents and murders, striptease clubs and battered babies and frayed tempers and unhappy marriages and people contemplating suicide and bad jokes, but once in St. Martin's there was peace. Surely people go to church not to involve themselves in the world's problems but to escape from them. — Michael Palin

Unhappy Marriages Quotes By Alex Lake

That was the trouble now. People felt sad, so they got a pill. Work was hard, so people resigned. Marriages went through rocky patches and people got divorced. It was selfishness, pure and simple. And it was all justified by emotions. I'm unhappy. I'm stressed. I need to feel loved. Just having the emotion was enough justification for whatever people did. And it was useless. Didn't people see that unhappiness came from within? A person could change jobs, but if they were an unhappy type then they would take their unhappiness with them. — Alex Lake

Unhappy Marriages Quotes By Charlotte Bronte

Millions of marriages are unhappy; if everybody confessed the truth, perhaps all are more or less so. — Charlotte Bronte

Unhappy Marriages Quotes By Christian Cantrell

Arik and Cadie always knew they wouldn't be one of those couples that let problems between them fester. They would immediately address any issues that arose, bring them out into the open, discuss them until they reached a mutually satisfactory conclusion. They felt bad for some of the Founders who they believed had unhappy marriages - couples who were not strong enough to be truthful and open with each other, and even worse, with themselves — Christian Cantrell

Unhappy Marriages Quotes By Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Marriage is tough, because it is woven of all these various elements, the weak and the strong. "In love-ness" is fragile for it is woven only with the gossamer threads of beauty. It seems to me absurd to talk about "happy" and "unhappy" marriages. — Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Unhappy Marriages Quotes By Anne Morrow Lindbergh

The best marriages, like the best lives, were both happy and unhappy. There was even a kind of necessary tension, a certain tautness between the partners that gave the marriage strength, like the tautness of a full sail. You went forward on it. — Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Unhappy Marriages Quotes By Daniel Kahneman

The sunk-cost fallacy keeps people for too long in poor jobs, unhappy marriages, and unpromising research projects. — Daniel Kahneman

Unhappy Marriages Quotes By P.G. Wodehouse

Chumps always make the best husbands. When you marry, Sally, grab a chump. Tap his head first, and if it rings solid, don't hesitate. All the unhappy marriages come from husbands having brains. What good are brains to a man? They only unsettle him. — P.G. Wodehouse

Unhappy Marriages Quotes By Elizabeth Wurtzel

By the time the sixties hit their home bases, we the kids, were already born, and our parents found themselves stuck between an entrenched belief that children needed to be raised in a traditional household, and a new sense that anything was possible, that the alternative lifestyle was out there for the asking. There they were in marriages they once thought were a necessity and with children they'd had almost by accident in a world that was suddenly saying, 'No necessities! No accidents! Drop Everything!' A little too old to take full advantage of the cultural revolution, our parents just got all the fallout. Freedom hit them obliquely, and invidiously, rather than head-on. Instead of waiting longer to get married, our parents got divorced; Instead of becoming feminists, our mothers were left to become displaced homemakers. A lot of unhappy situations were dissolved by people who were not quite young or free enough to start again. — Elizabeth Wurtzel

Unhappy Marriages Quotes By Anne Lamott

Most marriages are a mess, and the children get caught between two bitter, antagonistic parents. My parents stayed married for 27 unhappy years, till their kids were grown, and this was a catastrophe for us. — Anne Lamott

Unhappy Marriages Quotes By Terrence Real

Women are unhappy in their marriages because they want men to be more related than most men know how to be. And men are unhappy in their marriages because their women seem so unhappy with them. — Terrence Real

Unhappy Marriages Quotes By Paula Danziger

I deal with unhappy marriages a lot. I've never been married, I'm single. — Paula Danziger

Unhappy Marriages Quotes By Anne Roiphe

Unhappy Marriages Quotes By Lorna Sage

The children of violently unhappy marriages, like my mother, are often hamstrung for life, but the children of happier marriages have problems too - all the worse, perhaps, because they don't have virtue on their side. — Lorna Sage
