Simplified Meaning:
Before you get married, it's important to really look at your partner and notice everything about them, both good and bad. This means taking your time and being very careful to understand who they are and how they behave. Once you're married, it's wiser to be more forgiving and overlook some small flaws or mistakes. In a marriage, focusing too much on the negatives can cause problems and unhappiness. For example, if your partner forgets to do the dishes sometimes, it's better to let it go rather than get upset every time it happens. This approach helps create a more loving and peaceful relationship.
