About this Quote

This quote by Oscar Wilde speaks with the motivations behind why people choose to wed. He suggests that men wed since they are tired of being single, while ladies wed out of interest. This indicates that guys are most likely to marry out of benefit, while females are most likely to wed out of a desire to explore and experience something brand-new. Wilde suggests that both men and women are eventually dissatisfied in their decision to wed, recommending that marital relationship is not constantly the response to discovering happiness. This quote talks to the idea that marriage is not constantly the option to life's issues, and that it can typically result in dissatisfaction. Wilde's quote serves as a tip that marriage must not be participated in gently, and that it is important to think about all of the prospective consequences prior to making such a dedication.
