Summary

This quote suggests that marrying someone with the intention of increasing the existing love between a couple is comparable to playing a game in an attempt to become wealthy. However, the quote implies that such endeavors will not bring substantial gains, but rather result in losses. In this context, marrying someone solely to enhance love is seen as futile, akin to attempting to improve one's financial status through gambling. It emphasizes the idea that genuine love and affection cannot be manufactured or forced through external factors such as marriage.
