Quote by Anne Morrow Lindbergh

Marriage is tough, because it is woven of all these various elements, the weak and the strong. In love-ness is fragile for it is woven only with the gossamer threads of beauty. It seems to me absurd to talk about happy and unhappy marriages.

Summary

This quote suggests that marriage is challenging because it is comprised of both weak and strong elements. The use of the term "love-ness" implies that love alone, while beautiful, is delicate and can easily be shattered. Therefore, the idea of categorizing marriages as either happy or unhappy seems illogical, as relationships are complex combinations of strengths and weaknesses, not easily summarized in binary terms. This perspective encourages a more nuanced understanding of marriage, acknowledging its intricacies and the coexistence of both positive and negative aspects within it.
