This hadith teaches us that it is permissible to take a reasonable amount of money from one's spouse's wealth in order to provide for oneself and one's family. It also teaches us that we should not be greedy or excessive when taking something, even if it belongs to our spouse. We should only take what is necessary and sufficient for our needs. Furthermore, this hadith encourages us to be generous with our own wealth by providing for those who are in need, such as our family members.
