Marriage hath in it less of beauty but more of safety, than the single life; it hath more care, but less danger, it is more merry, and more sad; it is fuller of sorrows, and fuller of joys; it lies under more burdens, but it is supported by all the strengths of love and charity, and those burdens are delightful.
Jeremy Taylor, Charles Page Eden, Reginald Heber, Alexander Taylor (1848). “The Whole Works of the Right Rev. Jeremy Taylor ...: Sermons”, p.211
