Meaning
This reads as a view of marriage as both practical and deeply intimate. It can be taken to mean that the bond is tested by hardship, sustained by endurance, and given special weight by the closeness two people choose to keep. It lands in moments when a marriage is measured not by ceremony, but by how two lives continue through strain and tenderness.
