Quote by George Bernard Shaw

Marriage is an alliance entered into by a man who can't sleep with the window shut, and a woman who can't sleep with the window open.

Marriage is an alliance entered into by a man who can't slee

Summary

This humorous quote suggests that marriage is a compromise between two individuals with different preferences and habits. The man who can't sleep with the window shut represents someone who needs fresh air or enjoys a sense of openness, while the woman who can't sleep with the window open prefers a closed environment. By entering into marriage, they learn to find a middle ground and accommodate each other's needs and habits, symbolizing the necessary give-and-take in a successful partnership.
