οὐ μὲν γὰρ τοῦ γε κρεῖσσον καὶ ἄρειον,Homer, Odyssey, 6.182-185. My translation.
ἢ ὅθ᾽ ὁμοφρονέοντε νοήμασιν οἶκον ἔχητον
ἀνὴρ ἠδὲ γυνή: πόλλ᾽ ἄλγεα δυσμενέεσσι,
χάρματα δ᾽ εὐμενέτῃσι, μάλιστα δέ τ᾽ ἔκλυον αὐτοί.
For indeed, nothing is nobler or better than
When a man and woman with a single heart
keep home together: bringing many griefs to their enemies
And sharing joy, which they know best of all, with their friends.
