Adolphe reflects on the stages of courtship leading to marriage, and quickly transitions into the petty troubles that arise once “I do” is said. Through witty dialogue and revealing anecdotes, it becomes clear that Caroline, although charming, evolves into a source of frustration for Adolphe as their relationship brings to light the disparities between romantic expectations and the mundane reality of married life.
