In this short monologue, the speaker affirms that marriage and love can be wonderful and fulfilling, but warns that relying on a partner or the relationship to provide personal happiness and fulfillment is problematic. If individuals do not first discover what truly makes them happy and instead expect the union to supply it, they risk becoming manipulators who try to coerce their partner into meeting those unmet needs. The core message is a call for personal responsibility in finding one’s own joy rather than depending on a relationship to supply it.

Yes, marriage is great, love is great, it can be fulfilling. However, if we are not actually doing our work and finding out what makes us happy, what makes us fulfilled, and we're relying on the union to do that, we ultimately find ourselves becoming manipulators. To get what we want. To get what we want. We trying to like- Because we expect that that person or the relationship is supposed to provide us something. Exactly.
