Meaning
This can be taken to mean that marriage is less about one dramatic moment and more about an ongoing exchange of voices, habits, and small negotiations. The image also carries a note of fragility, because even a long shared life feels as if it slips by quickly. It lands when someone is describing the strange mix of intimacy and passing time in a lasting relationship.
