In this life, we learn many ideals that shape the eternal us. Who or what we choose to love & trust molds us by the contours of its definitions. We sometimes trust in a lover to complete us. Through that partnership we learn tremendous lessons about love, life, and who we are to become, discovering that it is what that person channels that we really love. Ultimately, we are married to the universe and our partners are simply the route by which we come to understand our personal connection with God. Some couples separate because of static coming between them, others because it was simply meant to be. But a true marriage is not measured just by an event that deems it so, but rather by an indestructable link that is formed by both partner's light fused together forever. Inside of that that link stands a garden that the universe will never forget. Those blended colors cannot fade from the halls of the library, for they are the candles of it's midst. Beyond (yet through) humans, its chapters draw us to a special place where we find, with or without a partner, that we are never alone and always of marriage in the bridal chamber as One.

Re: Marriage
Sat, January 24, 2009 - 7:22 PMI'm getting married next month, and we have been living together since 1999.
I see my fiancee as part of my family. I love her. It's unconditional.
She does not complete me at all. Instead I enjoy the company of someone I love everyday.
People are complete within themselves, another person cannot complete them. -

Mon, January 26, 2009 - 2:36 PMThis is an interesting statement and points to something that may be true.
If you need someone to complete you, you are not a full person and have not done the work on yourself.
After ten years, the relationship has showed its mettle.
And so you grown in lave and not fallen into it. -

I am touched to the core of my being. What a magnificent and beautiful post.
I am actively seeking healing of an unrequited love that I have for someone very close to me, because it causes me great pain that he is unavailable.
But instead of let grief overwhelm me, what I will now focus on exactly what you describe - that the colors of our perspectives and the high vibration we occupy when we are together cannot be erased from the collective consciousness. It is exactly the truth of the situation and is a great part of the healing I have been seeking.
LOVE TO ALL, JUDGMENT FOR NONE, FOR WE ARE ONE. -

My favorite written work on marriage is from Kahlil Gibran's The Prophet:
"...Love one another but make not a bond of love: Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your soul.
Fill each other's cup but drink not from one cup.
Give one another of your bread but eat not from the same loaf.
Sing and dance together and be joyous, but let each one of you be alone,
Even as the strings of the lute are alone though they quiver with the same music.
Give your hearts, but not into each other's keeping. For only the hand of LIfe can contain your hearts.
And stand together, yet not too near together: for the pillar of the temple stands apart, And the oak tree and cypress grow not in each other's shadow."
