Marrying an old bachelor is like buying second-hand furnitur

Summary

This quote suggests that marrying someone who has never been in a committed relationship before is akin to purchasing used furniture. It implies that the individual may come with their own set of issues or baggage, similar to how second-hand furniture may have its wear and tear. Consequently, the quote may serve as a cautionary statement encouraging individuals to be wary of the potential challenges that can arise from entering a union with someone who may lack experience in a long-term relationship.
