Quote by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Love is an ideal thing, marriage a real thing

Love is an ideal thing, marriage a real thing

Summary

This quote emphasizes the contrast between the idealistic perception of love and the practical reality of marriage. Love is often seen as a pure and perfect emotion, existing within the realm of dreams and expectations. On the other hand, marriage represents the practical aspects of a relationship, such as responsibility, compromise, and the everyday challenges that come with it. It suggests that while love may be the foundation, marriage requires effort and commitment to bridge the gap between the ideal and the real.
