"There may be good, but there are no pleasant marriages"

- Rainer Maria Rilke

About this Quote

Rainer Maria Rilke's quote suggests that although marital relationship can be a good idea, it is hardly ever an enjoyable experience. This might be analyzed in a few methods. Firstly, it might be seen as a warning that marriage is not constantly a bed of roses, and that couples need to be prepared for the tough times that come with it. It could also be viewed as a suggestion that marital relationship is a dedication that requires effort and devotion, and that it is not constantly easy. Lastly, it might be seen as a suggestion that marital relationship is a long-lasting journey, which it is very important to be prepared for the ups and downs that include it. Eventually, Rilke's quote works as a reminder that marriage is not constantly easy, however that it can be a gratifying experience if couples are willing to put in the effort.
