About this Quote

This quote by Alan King is a funny way of stating that love and marital relationship are two different topics that can not be discussed together. He is suggesting that if one wants to learn about love and marriage, they must want to 2 different sources. This might be analyzed as a metaphor for how love and marriage are two unique entities that can not be combined.
