I agree, there's something missing in the poem. I have a book containing a copy of habitation and the receding edge of glacier was there. Anyway, this poem is really realistic for me. it only showed and expressed how marriage really is. marriage is not a game, not a play,rather, a very critical, serious, crucial and unstable condition that calls for a lot of effort and attention to work it out.

I really love the poem. I agree of the things being told. During our class, I encounter this poem.
It is true that "Marriage is not a house nor even a tent." That in entering a marriage life is not just building a house. Like eating popcorn? Oh it's not like that. They are many things to think and to consider. There are happiness and even hardships. It can never be an easy thing. Therefore, marriage life is a serious affair.
