I am dedicated to the preservation of my marriage's unity.

Gary Thomas
About This Quote

The word "unity" evokes a picture of a person living in a quarrelsome household, where the members of a couple believe they have a right to behave any way they please. This is particularly true in the case of married couples. The word "unite" is used here to refer to a pair of people who are united in marriage, and who do not want to be separated from each other. In this sense, unity is very much like love, but it is more than love.

It has been observed that couples who attempt to avoid separation from each other also tend to be more productive and less stressed by life's problems. The word "unify" can be used in the same way: "The former president and her husband were unified in their political beliefs and practices," for example.
