Marriage
My middle daughter got married last summer after 7 years and two kids together and I want to share my elation on the progress of their beautiful union.I dedicated this letter for them and my daughter read it with tears in her eyes after they were well settled. Although they lived very happily after deciding to fulfill one of the sacrament, I just want to share this piece of my mind for whatever it's worth..
Marriage is the uniting force between two souls, heart, body and mind to be one. It solidifies togetherness. A complete union and synchronicity of love for two persons who has become one. It is the culmination of a very long thought and perceived responsibility to conduct everything in life for the benefit and glory of two people. A seal that promotes sacred respect, love and happiness for both. While it is not going to guarantee any non commission of wrongs on either side, it does foster a deeper way to understand situation that might be so challenging and difficult. It breeds so much strength for the protection of the union that just by wearing the symbol of itself which is the ring, it creates a formidable impression about the sacredness of the unity in itself.
Anyone who witnesses the worn seal and symbol would otherwise position themselves to not encroach and therefore respect that unity by not undermining in anyway shape and form of that marriage.
Marriage, like any relationship requires a great deal of labor specially for its protection on all harmful forces around. Whether we like it or not, there will always be dark storms that will be weathered. There is always going to be dark forces that will undermine it. There will always be negative froces that will surround it. Specially jealousy and ego. My daughter Karen, in her speech, during the wedding touched my heart so deeply. and said: "Don't invite ego into the marriage ." What a profound advise. What a very strong and deep meaning it creates. More often than not, it is indeed, this calculating feeling of being so egotistic that ruins everything. Be on guard always, that all you do for the both of you and for your happiness is to stay humble and be respectful. Learning always also make it easier to position yourselves on things that you both will love. Be always a student in life. Be always considerate to the both of you and most of all, don't cease being a student of life. It will sustain you on knowing what is best and it will guide you to create a better union and better everyday performance of your relationship to one another. This is a song and dance you will do to each other. Make it sweet and joyful. Most of all be humble. There is nothing better than to recognize all our flaws and imperfections and be thankful that you have the ability to learn.
Marriage is a light that guides to achieve a very loving and very peaceful togetherness. A shield of great possession of being one. Always, you are now one. One body, one heart, one beat, one being and most of all, one soul. n the alert to learn and to understand so that the longer you are together, the easier it will be for anything that you will do.
A vessel of exuberance. Of gratification and pleasure. Of permanence. Of a very long if not forever unity. It is an act of goodness, to make this world a better p[lace. While each and everyone of us can do it, even in the absence of marriage, yet its force and effect is far greater by two people doing it together in a very structured and determined ways.
