A husband is what is left of a lover, after the nerve has been extracted.

It isn't tying himself to one woman that a man dreads when he thinks of marrying it's separating himself from all the others.

In olden times sacrifices were made at the altar - a practice which is still continued.

After marriage, a woman's sight becomes so keen that she can see right through her husband without looking at him, and a man's so dull that he can look right through his wife without seeing her.

A bride at her second marriage does not wear a veil. She wants to see what she is getting.
