Marla would like her husband to have a job that would allow him to come home more often.
The excerpts that show this are:
"His wife, Marla, didn’t understand his obsession with the water, why he spent months of the year navigating a boat full of crab fishermen to isolated spots of the ocean hundreds of miles away from shore."
"She couldn’t grasp why he didn’t get the same satisfaction from life behind a desk..."
We can arrive at this answer because:
- Marla's husband's job requires him to spend a lot of time away from home.
- She doesn't like it because she misses him and believes it would be better if he found another job that would allow him to have a family life.
- He asks her husband to answer her claims, which he does, but he is very unhappy, as he enjoys life at sea a lot.
- Marla doesn't understand the reasons for this, but she sees him unhappy and that's why she asks him to go back to doing what he loves.
With that, we can understand that Marla is a very understanding person, who doesn't agree, but understands her husband's love for the sea.
