They be marching hand in hand, like going to war.

Alice Walker
About This Quote

When two people are attached in marriage they are said to be marching hand in hand, like going to war. War has historically been an important part of human history. The idea that when two people are married, they are preparing for war is an interesting one to note. You can’t go to war without fighting first.

That fighting is what causes the marriage between two people to be so strong. They are fighting together in their own private war, but this is a war against another couple, the enemy.
