Summary

This quote humorously highlights the fact that there are no guarantees in marriage. It emphasizes that seeking guaranteed outcomes in a lifelong partnership is unrealistic and compares it to expecting guaranteed electricity from a car battery. The comparison suggests that just as car batteries are unreliable and unpredictable, so is marriage. It humorously reminds us that relationships require effort, compromise, and an acceptance of uncertainty, rather than seeking guarantees.
