Summary

This quote highlights the similarity between a journey and marriage, suggesting that both involve an unpredictable path that cannot be fully controlled. Just as a journey cannot be precisely mapped out and controlled at all times, attempting to have absolute control in a marriage is a misguided approach. Both require an acceptance of the unknown and an openness to embrace the unplanned turns and uncertainties that may come along the way. It reminds us that true fulfillment comes from embracing and adapting to the unexpected rather than attempting to tightly control every aspect of life.
