I am married, and i believe that mosherose is teitching it correct

but hes a bit out of touch with reality. this that he is saying is probably what it meant at a time and was supposed to mean always. but today things are very different. remember that in the days of the mishna men had many wives and they probably did not talk nearly as much together like today.

what we have as the family unit did not exist then. men were not with the same wife every night for they had many and were only able to be with one at a time as we see in the story of yaakov and ruvein. they all had different tents. so mosherose is right but hes not up to date with the times when spending time shmoozing about every thing under the sun with one’s wife is absolutely essential and not tar’beh .
