Meaning
This reads as a joke built on mock advice. It points to the idea that a lasting marriage can survive only if both partners keep a little distance, and it turns romance into a neatly timed routine. It lands in a situation where couples are asked for their secret, but the answer is really about comic exaggeration and domestic compromise.
