Quote by Jean Kerr

Marrying a man is like buying something you've been admiring for a long time in a shop window. You may love it when you get it home, but it doesn't always go with everything else in the house.

Marrying a man is like buying something you've been admiring

Summary

This quote humorously compares marrying a man to purchasing a coveted item from a shop window. It suggests that though one may have admired the item for a long period, there's no guarantee it will seamlessly fit into their existing life. Similarly, while initial love and excitement may arise within a marriage, the quote implies that compatibility and harmony may not always come naturally, and adjustments may be required to make the relationship work within the broader context of one's life.

When everything happens to you when you're so young, you're very lucky, but by the same token, you're never going to have that same feeling again. The first time anything happens to you - your first love, your first success - the second one is never the same.
