A man had better study what a human being is, because he's marrying one - assuming that merely being one has not been sufficient stimulus to that study.

Pope Pius XI
About This Quote

During the war, I once entered into a marriage that was broken by death. You see, my wife had found out something about me that I did not want her to know. She agreed to keep it secret, but eventually, she died. After she died, I learned what she did not want me to know.

That is the lesson of this quote. If you marry someone, please make sure you know everything about them so that you can better understand them and know how to deal with them.
