I think that everyone should get married at least once, so you can see what a silly, outdated institution it is.
Interpretation
What this quote means
Marriage can be perceived as a trivial and old-fashioned concept after experiencing it.
This quote by Madonna Ciccone reflects a playful cynicism about the institution of marriage. It suggests that while marriage is traditionally viewed as a significant milestone in life, experiencing it can lead to the realization that it may not hold the value or seriousness that society often attributes to it. By advocating for everyone to marry at least once, she implies that firsthand experience can lead to a humorous or critical understanding of this societal norm.
