A PERFECT MARRIAGE
Michael Jon Kell, 11/03/08
A perfect marriage occurs when both partners have committed themselves to work towards what is commonly described as the ‘ideal marriage’. I do not think I did define such since when it is present, even for a magic moment, you know it.
The secret to achieving such a marriage is for each partner to realize that no human being can truly be perfect–for the perfection of self is only an ideal equivalent to our ideal of our God. We are all imperfect in some way.
However, the wonder of imperfection is that in a true marriage of love our lack of perfection allows use to become more than we previously were, We learn about the goals, desires, and needs of our partner. Knowing such allows adaptation and tolerance to grow in our hearts and minds so we become capable of learning how to adapt ourselves so to work fully towards the physical, mental and spiritual growth of our lover. No perfect person can do such.
So it is a truism that working so to manifest an ‘ideal marriage’ consciously and purposely is the best spiritual work to immerse yourself. For someday, you learn how to love your lover more than you love yourself–then, you understand God.
