“There is no perfect marriage and there never
will be one-neither is it necessary to be so.
all the fun will be lost if marriage is always
sedate and predictable ’’

And in the words of Khalil Gibran.
POET AND PHILOSOPHER
On marriage:

.... let there be spaces in
Your togeatherness
And let the winds of the
Heavens dance between you
Love one another,but make
not a bond of love
Let it rather be a moving sea
between the shores of your
souls
Fill each others 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
you be alone

Even as the strings of a 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 pillars of the temple
stand apart,
And the oak tree and the
cypress grow not in each
other’s shadow.
