What is virtue but the Trade Unionism of the married?

What is virtue but the Trade Unionism of the married?

Summary

This quote is an analogy that suggests that virtue in marriage can be compared to trade unionism in its role and significance. In trade unionism, workers join together and collaborate to protect their rights and advocate for their common interests collectively. Similarly, in marriage, virtue is the commitment to upholding shared values, cooperating, and working together for the betterment and stability of the relationship. It implies that just as trade unions ensure fairness and unity among workers, virtue in marriage leads to harmony, support, and the safeguarding of the shared goals and ideals of a husband and wife.

They want safety, the magazines and manufacturers give them safety, give them homogeneity, give them the familiar and comfortable, don't challenge them.

But we are so fond of life that we have no leisure to entertain the terror of death. It is a honeymoon with us all through, and none of the longest. Small blame to us if we give our whole hearts to this glowing bride of ours, to the appetities, to honour, to the hungry curiosity of the mind, to the pleasure of the eyes in nature, and the pride of our own nimble bodies.
