அன்பும் அறனும் உடைத்தாயின் இல்வாழ்க்கை

பண்பும் பயனும் அது.                                                                            (குறள் – 45)

Explanation:

Love refers to the love among the family members and their relatives. Over time, love will lead to friendship with others. If a couple love each other, their family members, relatives, and friends, such love will shape them to be people with kindness, compassion, and good character. People with good character will lead peaceful, happy, and harmonious life. Virtue is doing the right thing and avoiding the wrong thing. If a couple follow virtue in their life, then they will not cause any harm to themselves or others. Also, since they do the right thing, they will be happy, make others happy, lead a harmonious life, and be respected by others. Therefore, the goal of married life is to lead a life with love and virtue.
