Summary

This quote suggests that marriage serves a dual purpose for a man - creating a sense of home and companionship, while also alleviating the need for constant engagement in sexual activities. It implies that a man may seek marriage not only for emotional connection or commitment but also to fulfill practical needs, such as having a stable living environment and a partner who can satisfy their sexual desires. However, the quote simplifies the complex motivations and dynamics of marriage, presenting a reductionist viewpoint.
