What is virtue but the Trade Unionism of the married?

Summary

This quote is an analogy that suggests that virtue in marriage can be compared to trade unionism in its role and significance.

It implies that just as trade unions ensure fairness and unity among workers, virtue in marriage leads to harmony, support, and the safeguarding of the shared goals and ideals of a husband and wife.
