Summary

This quote highlights the importance of emotional connection and empathy in a relationship. While you can forgive others for not understanding your deep philosophical discussions or beliefs, it becomes much harder to forgive a partner who fails to empathize with your emotions. The quote suggests that moments of vulnerability, where one expects comfort or shared emotions from their spouse, are vital for a successful and fulfilling marriage. Lack of understanding or empathy in such moments could potentially erode the foundation of the relationship.
