In P.G. Wodehouse's book "Jill the Reckless," the author presents a candid view of marriage. He compares it to a film scene, highlighting that it is far more complex than a romantic moment. Instead of being merely a beautiful gesture, marriage is depicted as a partnership that requires deep emotional investment.
Wodehouse emphasizes the importance of genuine connection and mutual support in a relationship. He likens being in a loveless marriage to working alongside someone you find unlikable, suggesting that without heartfelt engagement, a partnership loses its value and can become a burden rather than a source of joy.
