Edna is unhappy that she married a man who she only married because she wanted to stop fooling around with love. She married Leonce Pontellier because she needed to be serious and get to her business of making a family. This quote is important because it shows her true emotions about the thought of her marriage with Leonce. Again, the woman’s role during this time was to marry a man, have children, and support them in whatever they did. The love aspect of all of it was just an external aspect of it; no one on the inside was actually in love with who they married, if so it was very rare to find this sort of attraction.
