A Marriage - meaning Summary
Union Completes and Animates
The poem presents marriage as a unifying, life-giving bond that turns two incomplete or aimless lives into a single, purposeful partnership. It argues that marriage multiplies practical strength and mutual support, provides reasons to live, and renews simple pleasures—sunshine, flowers, earth—while introducing a fresh sense of wonder and mystery into everyday existence.
