Summary

This quote suggests that marriage is like navigating uncharted waters. It implies that there is no clear guidance or tool that can guarantee a smooth and successful marriage. Just as the high seas can be unpredictable and treacherous, matrimony is seen as a complex and challenging journey that requires constant effort and adaptability. The absence of a compass symbolizes the lack of a definitive guide, emphasizing the need for couples to chart their own course, make compromises, and navigate through the uncertainties together.
