Quoting%20commentary for Ketubot 162:2

התם עצה טובה קא משמע לן דאי לא תימא הכי סיפא דקתני וכן לא יאמר אדם לאשתו הרי כתובתיך מונחת ליך על השלחן אלא כל נכסיו אחראין לכתובת אשתו אי בעי ליה לזבוני הכא נמי דלא מצי מזבין אלא עצה טובה קמשמע לן הכא נמי עצה טובה קמ"ל

There it was only teaching us good advice, for if you did not say this, [how would you] read the final clause where it is stated: So, too, a husband must not say to his wife, “Behold your ketubah lies on the table,” rather all his property is pledged for her ketubah, would he here also [it may be asked] not be able to sell if he wished to do so? Rather, there it was just teaching us good advice; and similarly here it is also teaching us good advice.
