My God, who wouldn't
want a wife?    
Judy Syfers


Meek wifehood is no part
of my profession;  I am your friend,
but never your possession.
Vera Brittain


Anatomy is not destiny.
Simone de Beauvoir


Don't expect a wife to help you
or hinder you. 
Don't expect anything. 
That is the golden rule of marriage.
Robertson Davies
