15 Celeb Quotes About Marriage That Will Warm Your Heart

Hollywood isn't exactly a breeding ground for lasting marriages. Trust us — we've felt the emotional effects. Every time one of our favorite famous couples announces that they're calling it quits (Ben Stiller and Christine Taylor? Anna Faris and Chris Pratt? 2017 has a been a cruel run.), our heart breaks a little more, and not only because we'll miss lusting over those adorable red carpet pics. High profile relationships give us a real-world fairy tale, a bar against which to compare our own marriage fantasies. And when those fantasies fall apart... ouch! It's not all doom and gloom, though. Plenty of celebrity duos are still very much in love and have marital wisdom to share that gives us butterflies. Here are 15 quotes on marriage from some of our favorite celebs.

"Don't do it unless you look at that person and say, 'I can't get out of bed in the morning knowing that she's out there.' If you do get married, get a prenup. It's not about money at all. It's about having a document that states how you'll dissolve your marriage while you still have a shred of respect for each other." — Alec Baldwin While the 2017 Emmy winner's thoughts on marriage might feel a little un-romantic, they also speak to the importance of maintaining healthy boundaries between love and money.

We earned each other." — Kristen Bell When did we fall head over heels in love with Kristen Bell and her husband Dax Shepard, you ask? Maybe it was when they released a music video set to Toto's Africa.

Or maybe we fall in love with them every. single. time they post a shockingly normal photo of themselves to social media. It's safe to say we're in an ongoing affair with these two, and relatable Bell's admission that their marriage is a work in progress only makes that affair more serious.

I have never been prouder to watch the rest of American fall in love with you too, as our nation's first lady." — Barack ObamaWhatever your politics, you can't deny that Barack and Michelle Obama pretty much set all of our goals for modern marriage.
