Summary

This quote suggests that the only truly admirable husbands are those who never marry in the first place. It implies that married men are inherently less considerate, perhaps implying that they become less attentive to their partners' needs and desires. By staying single, these individuals supposedly prioritize their own well-being and maintain a level of thoughtfulness that is lost in the commitment of marriage. Overall, this statement emphasizes the idea that remaining unmarried is the key to maintaining a high level of consideration and care in interpersonal relationships.
