They dream in courtship, but in wedlock wake.
I believe it will be found that those who marry late are best pleased with their children; and those who marry early, with their partners.
Wedlock's like wine - not properly judged of till the second glass.
A person's character is but half formed till after wedlock.
Wedlock is the deep, deep peace of the double bed after the hurly-burly of the chaise lounge.
Wedlock's a lane where there is no turning.
