When we say “I do,” we often picture marriage as a calm, steady road full of sunsets, laughter, and handholding. And while those moments are very real, the truth is, marriage is less like a peaceful walk through the park… and more like strapping in for the ride of your life on a roller coaster.

The Highs: Moments at the Top

There are days when you’re at the very peak of the ride—wind in your face, heart racing with joy, and a deep sense of gratitude for the person beside you. These are the moments of shared victories, bursts of laughter, and the little gestures that make your heart swell. They remind you exactly why you said “yes” in the first place.

The Lows: Learning in the Drops

But roller coasters aren’t all about the high points. There are sudden drops and sharp turns the misunderstandings, the disagreements, the stressful days when it feels like you’re both stuck mid-track. It’s in these moments that marriage teaches us to listen more carefully, forgive more quickly, release our pride, and lean on the strength of our commitment.

Choosing to Stay in the Same Cart

The secret to navigating this ride isn’t avoiding the ups and downs it’s choosing to stay in the same cart, no matter what. It means that when one is afraid, the other offers a hand; when joy overflows, it’s shared; and when life pauses, we use that time to talk, pray, and dream together.

God: The Designer of the Track

Ultimately, marriage is not just a journey for two it’s an adventure designed by God Himself. He knows every curve, every climb, and every sudden drop. And no matter how wild the ride gets, His love is the safety harness that guarantees we’ll arrive safely.

Marriage is thrilling, unpredictable, and at times a little scary but it’s worth every twist and turn when you choose to ride it together.

Where are you on the ride today at the top, in the drop, or catching your breath on a curve?
