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.

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.

Jenny threw back her head and laughed, laughter that rang out through the leaves if the oak tree above them. Jack pulled her to him, to kiss her and whisper her name again. And the oak tree above them whispered back, of love and sacrifice, of a king and a queen, and a future made anew.
