"The trouble with wedlock is that there's not enough wed and too much lock"

- Christopher Morley

About this Quote

This quote by Christopher Morley is a humorous way of revealing the concept that marital relationship can be challenging. The expression "wedlock" is a play on words, integrating the words "wed" and "lock" to recommend that marriage is like being secured a jail. The quote implies that marital relationship can be limiting and confining, with too much focus on rules and regulations and insufficient emphasis on the joys of being wed. It suggests that couples need to focus more on the positive aspects of marital relationship, such as friendship, love, and support, instead of on the negative aspects, such as responsibilities and expectations. The quote also indicates that couples need to make every effort to keep their relationship fresh and interesting, rather than allowing it to become stagnant and dull. Ultimately, the quote is a reminder that marriage is a two-way street, which couples should make every effort to make it a satisfying and rewarding experience for both partners.
