Tidus: "What if she doesn't even like the guy? Is that okay?”
Lulu: "People marry for many reasons.”
Tidus: "What's that mean?”
Lulu: "Sometimes marriage doesn't require love, you know? Defeat Sin, and bring joy to the people of Spira. Get married, and bring joy to the people of Spira. For Yuna, they're just two ways down the same road. All you need is determination. If you have that, you don't need love.”
Tidus: "I don't know… I just don't get it.”
Harry: "Never marry at all, Dorian. Men marry because they are tired; women, because they are curious: both are disappointed."
Dorian: "I don't think I am likely to marry, Harry. I am much too in love."
Jack: Well I am in love with Gwendolyn! I have come to town expressly to propose to her.
Algernon: I thought you had come up for pleasure. I call that "business".
Jack: How utterly unromantic you are!
Algernon: I really don't see anything romantic about proposing. It is certainly romantic to be in love, but there's nothing romantic about a definite proposal.

"Lucy had no wish to entertain that gentleman. None at all. It was not that Lucy did not wish to marry Mr. Olson, for she had no doubt that marrying him was the most practical thing to do. Nevertheless, she would very much rather avoid the necessity of making conversation with him."
"Oh, Lizzy! Do anything rather than marry without affection."
—Jane, Pride and Prejudice
Mother: "Are you sure you love him?"
Girl: "I am sure I want to marry him."
Qrow: What about the kid, Jim? What if she finds out the marriage is a scam? You want to raise a kid with a lie?
James: I don’t see the lie. You’re my best friend and I’m not lying when I say that I love you. A marriage, in the eyes of the law at least, is the joining of two people. There’s no law that says it must be for romantic love – plenty of people marry for tax reasons, for convenience, for citizenship, for safety. Frankly, if she ever does ask, when she’s older, we can simply explain that we married each other for love, but not necessarily the love she would associate with marriage.
That is a match made in a boardroom.
— Conrad Hilton, about a wedding he's attending at a country club, Mad Men
Chelsea: "This is kind of illegal, Rae. We just got away with a crime.”
Raven: "Did we? Marriage is between two people who love each other and spend all their time together and sometimes raise kids together and I’m pretty sure we hit all those marks.”
Chelsea: "Technically But if that’s the benchmark for a marriage, we’ve been married for a very long time.”
