Marriage is a lottery, but you can't tear up your ticket if

Summary

This quote suggests that marriage is akin to a gamble, where you cannot simply opt out if things do not go as expected. Like a lottery ticket, choosing a life partner involves taking a risk, as the outcome is uncertain. However, unlike a lottery ticket that can be discarded after a loss, in marriage one must face the consequences of their choice and work through challenges, even if it did not turn out as desired. It serves as a reminder that commitment and perseverance are vital in the journey of marriage, despite its unpredictability.
