There are two kinds of marriages -- where the husband quotes

Summary

This quote suggests that in a marriage, there are two possible dynamics. In one scenario, the husband often repeats or cites things his wife says, indicating that her words carry influence and authority within the relationship. In the other scenario, it is the wife who frequently quotes her husband, implying that his opinions and perspectives hold sway in their marital decision-making. The quote highlights the idea that power dynamics can vary within marriages, and it presents a lighthearted observation about the different ways couples communicate and exert influence on one another.
