“The point of marriage is not to create a quick commonality by tearing down all boundaries; on the contrary, a good marriage is one in which each partner appoints the other to be the guardian of his solitude.”
— Rainer Maria Rilke
Simplified Meaning:
A good marriage is not about becoming exactly the same or taking away all differences. Instead, it means each partner respects and protects the other's personal space and individuality.
