Summary

This quote suggests that marriage can be seen as a risky gamble for both men and women. Men, by getting married, may feel that they are sacrificing some of their freedom and independence. On the other hand, women might feel that marriage puts their happiness at stake, perhaps implying that societal expectations and gender roles could impact their satisfaction within the institution. However, it is important to note that this quote is a subjective viewpoint and does not necessarily reflect the experience of all individuals in married relationships.
