I loved Wisdom. When I was young, I looked for her.
I longed to have her for my bride,
I fell in love with the beauty of Wisdom.
~Wisdom 8:2
Marriage, the joining of two individuals as partners in loving and in life, is more than just a social relationship.
In the great mystical tradition of the world, and in our dreams, marriage symbolizes the union of the separated
parts of the inner self. We are all here about this work, searching for and joining with our inner wisdom.
Sometimes - often - part of this quest takes place as well in the outer world, in marriages and business partnerships
and other joinings. Each of these relationships offers a window into our inner processes. How we relate to and treat
our partners tells us a great deal about the progress of our deepest spiritual quest. That is why love is such an absorbing
activity for so many people. It is not just a simple need to reproduce a species: we find ourselves illustrated in our
partnerships. Wisdom lies in knowing where we end and where our partner begins. Happiness lies in both accepting
the mutuality of our searches.
