Summary

This quote suggests that there is a deep-rooted and instinctual desire for women to get married. However, it also implies that this desire is often followed quickly by an equally natural urge to be single again. The explanation indicates that while marriage may be initially appealing, there is an intrinsic longing for freedom and independence that can arise shortly after. It acknowledges the dual nature of this desire, implying that the inclination to be married and the inclination to be single are both innate and fundamental aspects of women's emotional makeup.
