Quote by Honore de Balzac

Marriage must incessantly contend with a monster that devours everything: familiarity.

Marriage must incessantly contend with a monster that devour

Summary

This quote suggests that familiarity is a challenging factor in a marriage. It refers to the idea that as a couple becomes more acquainted with each other, the initial excitement and novelty fade away. The "monster" metaphor implies that this familiarity can consume the passion and enthusiasm in a relationship. Thus, the quote highlights the need for couples to constantly work on keeping the spark alive, as familiarity may lead to complacency if not actively addressed.
