I love how hearing or reading a quote can change my whole day. Whether it's a word of kindness or encouragement, or something about love that reminds me of my spouse. Whatever it is, quotes have the power to say the things we wish we could, but can't.

People have been writing about love for centuries, and we have the literature and quotes to prove it. It's a universal topic and one that will never grow old! Everyone is different and has their favorite quotes about love, but here are my top ten favorites that are great for any marriage (in no particular order):

1. "Marriage: Love is the reason. Lifelong friendship is the gift. Kindness is the cause. And til death do us part is the length." - Fawn Weaver
2. "Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage." - Lao Tzu
3. "You may only be one person to the world, but you may also be the world to one person." - Anonymous
4. "Once in a while, right in the middle of an ordinary life, love gives us a fairy tale." - Anonymous
5. "A successful marriage requires falling in love many times, always with the same person." - Mignon McLaughlin
6. "Love is more than three words mumbled before bedtime. Love is sustained by action, a pattern of devotion in the things we do for each other every day." - Nicholas Sparks
7. "Marriage is getting to have a sleepover with your best friend, every single night of the week." - Christie Cook
8. "In all the world, there is no heart for me like yours. In all the world, there is no love for you like mine." - Maya Angelou
9. "Love doesn't make the world go round, love is what makes the ride worthwhile." - Elizabeth Browning
10. "Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails." - The Bible (I Corinthians 13:4)
