I wasn’t saying that their marriages were anything less than good.
They were being modest in their words while saying a lot.
RT could have meant that the next parsha comes after death because from marriage onward, the couple is one.
Why would their wives kill them if they spoke the truth? What is the truth? I don’t know. That’s why I asked. Since they weren’t specific, I made up a reason why.
Maybe their wives wouldn’t want them sharing all the mushy details of their marriage and saying what comes next because it’s not tznius. Or anything.
