If the married life possess love and virtue, these will be both its duty and reward

Thiruvalluvar
About This Quote

This quote is all about marriage. Marriage is a relationship in which people are bound together by love and virtue. The love, in this case, can be romantic, but it can also be affectionate, familial, or any other kind of love. People are rewarded for both loving and being virtuous in their marriage.

It is not clear if the reward is necessarily material. However, it seems that the reward is often the experience of deep knowledge of each other's hearts and souls
