I came here looking for the same thing. Hopefully someone will give us our answer...
shareHere's what I found on another page on this site:

Ben Holmes: Quoting Bishop Jeremy Taylor, "Marriage hath in it less of beauty but more of safety, than the single life; it hath more care, but less danger, it is more merry, and more sad; it is fuller of sorrows, and fuller of joys; it lies under more burdens, but it is supported by all the strengths of love and charity, and those burdens are delightful."
I googled Bishop Jeremy Taylor and learned that he is a seventeenth century clergyman in the Church of England. He briefly served as a bishop in Ireland. You can find his bio and writings on Wikipedia.

A quotable quotes site confirmed that the quote is his, though I can't tell which of his writings it comes from.

That should do it.
Several internet sites attribute it to Jeremy Taylor, a bishop in the seventeenth century. But I can't find independent confirmation of this -- that is, there's no citation to a book, sermon, etc.
