Summary

This quote suggests that societal norms dictate that love should culminate in marriage.

It highlights the restricted perception of love where institutionalized unions are regarded as a necessary conclusion, rather than placing emphasis on the quality or fulfillment of the relationship itself. The quote may question whether conforming to societal expectations can inhibit the genuine and meaningful experience of love.
