Wordmark#relationship Q: #nietsche said, ask yourself if you can talk to this person for the rest of your #life? (#marriage)
Yes, this is often attributed to Nietzsche: When getting married, you should ask yourself whether you can still talk to this person well in old age - that is, whether you want to talk to each other for the rest of your life.
However, this is not always clearly proven literally; There are several similar formulations circulating. If you want, I can find the most likely original passage or the exact German/English version for you.
Q: YES
Yes — the common Nietzsche formulation is:
"When entering into a marriage, one should ask oneself the question: Do you think that you will have a good conversation with this woman well into your old age? Everything else in marriage is transitory, but most of the intercourse is part of conversation."
She is mostly quoted from Human, All Too Human. The better-known short version is more of an exaggeration than an exact wording.
