About this Quote

This quote by French playwright Marcel Achard highlights the delicate balance in a marriage in between spending enough time together and offering each other space. The first part of the quote suggests that a man getting back too late can cause stress and skepticism in a marriage. This might be due to the understanding of the man prioritizing other things over his relationship. However, the second part of the quote adds an intriguing twist by mentioning that coming home too early can also be dangerous. This could suggest that too much togetherness can result in monotony or suffocation in a marital relationship. In general, the quote stresses the significance of discovering a healthy balance in a marriage to keep a strong and fulfilling relationship.
