Marriage

1. Níl leigheas ar an ngrá ach pósadh
   There is no cure for love other than marriage
2. Ní féasta go rósta, ní céasadh go pósta
   There is no feast without a roast, there is no torment without being married
3. Má tá tú chun pósadh, pós anuraidh
   If you are going to marry, marry last year [Marry young if you are going to marry at all]
4. Faigh do bhean i gcóngar, ach i bhfad uait díol do bhó
   Get your wife locally, but far from you sell your cow
5. Má tá moladh uait, faigh bás;  má tá cáineadh uait, pós
   If you want praise, die;  if you would criticism, marry
