In primary school I remember a classmate saying "no life without wife." Looks like that guy was in rush to get married. Here we have a car owner saying "no wife, happy life." Then I remember the English song "no woman, no cry."
Lastly, this needs to be told. A few years ago, I remember seeing a line on an autorickshaw "love is slow poison." Assuming the owner of that rickshaw was a young guy ditched by his girl.
So much ga ga over girl, woman and wife.

Unlike zoological creatures, most botanical life forms are not messy. On the contrary the mortal remains are beautiful and useful too.
