About this Quote

This quote by Douglas William Jerrold is an allegory comparing marital relationship to wine. It recommends that marriage ought to not be evaluated too swiftly or as well severely. Just like wine, marriage needs to be given time to develop as well as develop. The quote implies that it is only after the second glass of wine that a person can genuinely value its flavor and intricacy. Similarly, it is only after spending time in a marital relationship that can really value its appeal and intricacy. The quote is a suggestion that marriage is a long-term dedication and should not be judged also rapidly. It is only after hanging around with each other that one can really understand and value the beauty of marriage.
