A wedding dinner speech

A humble distinguished speaker spoke at my cousin's wedding. It was a long speech and I almost switched off and was happily eating my vegetables when I picked out these lines from his long speech..

When a man introduces the woman beside him, he says, "This is my wife". When a woman introduces the man beside her, she says, "He is my life"

So. Are women that noble? Looking at my mum, mother-in-law and wife. I have to agree.
