406. Die Ehe als langes Gespräch. - Man soll sich beim Eingehen einer Ehe die Frage vorlegen: glaubst du, dich mit dieser Frau bis in’s Alter hinein gut zu unterhalten? Alles Andere in der Ehe ist transitorisch, aber die meiste Zeit des Verkehrs gehört dem Gespräche an.

406. Marriage as a Long Conversation. When entering into a marriage, one should ask oneself: do you believe you will converse well with this woman into old age? Everything else in marriage is transitory, but most of the time spent together belongs to conversation.

406. Le mariage comme longue conversation. [TIRET] Au moment de contracter mariage, il faut se poser cette question : crois-tu pouvoir bien converser avec cette femme jusque dans la vieillesse ?
