-        <varname>Requires=</varname>. However, this dependency type is stronger: in addition to the effect of
-        <varname>Requires=</varname> it declares that if the unit bound to is stopped, this unit will be stopped
-        too. This means a unit bound to another unit that suddenly enters inactive state will be stopped too.
+        <varname>Requires=</varname>. However, this dependency type is stronger: in addition to the effects of
+        <varname>Requires=</varname>, which already stops (or restarts) the configuring unit when a listed unit is
+        explicitly stopped (or restared), it also does so when a listed unit stops unexpectedly (which includes when it
+        fails).
         Units can suddenly, unexpectedly enter inactive state for different reasons: the main process of a service unit
         might terminate on its own choice, the backing device of a device unit might be unplugged or the mount point of
         a mount unit might be unmounted without involvement of the system and service manager.</para>
