## Explanation

Marriage is depicted as a complex bond of duty, loneliness, and unfulfilled passion, as Maddalena gives selfless love while Gian-Luca remains emotionally distant, using her to bear his own loneliness.

Rosa and Mario's marriage is strained by grief and physical pain, yet they reconcile with 'soft murmurings and kissings'.

The deep, affectionate rivalry between Fabio and Nerone, and their shared grief over their wives' deaths, highlights enduring bonds.

Fabio's dependence on Teresa's prayers and his anger at her abandonment highlight the strained dynamics in their marriage.

The affectionate bickering between Mario and Rosa reveals a loving, if exasperated, marital dynamic.
