Marriage. The word by itself has no meaning, it is absolutely meaningless. Without an interpretation from the mind of man, it might as well be considered squiggly lines on a piece of paper. It only comes alive once you add to it your life experience; what you’ve been taught, what you’ve seen, and the time you’ve spent pondering its role. The large majority of us have accepted tradition as truth, as if what has always been must be right for you. Consequently, as you venture on you may find that reality contradicts your expectation, meaning… it’s not working how you thought it should, and you tend to question the experience rather than your own belief. Most “ideas” of marriage, are not aligned in truth, therefore it creates suffering. Need evidence of this… what is the divorce rate, and for those who stay together, how many couples are truly and “honestly” satisfied with their relationships? (Beyond the false vale they show the world.)
The questions is not, what is the right meaning? The question is… what is true, beyond what I “think” should or shouldn’t be true? The value of this union, is up to you to discover. I am not going to be the one to define it for you, then it would just be another “idea” you could attach yourself to.
Did you find genuine value within this post? If you did, then most likely you know someone else who will as well. I invite you to share the goodness!
