But marrying within one's own family can get monotonous. One has heard all the same family stories, knows all the jokes and all the same recipes. No novelty.

About This Quote

When one gets married, they are getting married to a person who has been their family member for a very long time. The marriage takes place within the same family and there is no novelty, since one knows all the stories and jokes and all the recipes. On the other hand, marrying outside of one's own family can bring a different experience. There is always something new to learn about a person from outside of the family.
