Well, it's really one conversation quoted twice.

But it emphasizes the point. Tav lemeisiv is considered a reason why a
gett would not be zakhin le'adam shelo befanav, even though the marriage
would too likely lead to sin. The desire not to be husbandless, even
by an insufficient husband, is being described as very profound.

Tir'u baTov!
