You do not have to marry in order not to be alone- all you need not to be alone is to have some other humans to be your companions and close friends.
Marriage will not solve "aloneness."
It is therefore vital for you to understand that being single-" separate, unique, and whole"- is most essential to, and the foundation of, not only marital relationships but all relationships.
Marriage is two imperfect people committing themselves to a perfect institution, by making perfect vows from imperfect lips before a perfect God.
Purpose is when you know and understand what you were born to accomplish. Vision is when you see it in your mind and begin to imagine it
Marriage is the alliance of two people, one of whom never remembers birthdays and the other who never forgets them.
Abilities wither under faultfinding, blossom with encouragement.
I married him for a green card. We had a really great, caring relationship; it just obviously wasn't right for me.
I've got five kids and I'm married, Tommy's got two kids and he's been married, Vince just got married again, Mick's out of a relationship, Tommy's single as well. We've done a lot in our life, we've covered a lot of miles.
Our relationships live in the space between us which is sacred.
Be with the ones you love (and the ones that love you.) Ignore everyone else.
See? Things are already looking promising.
There are times when two people need to step apart from one another, but there is no rule that says they have to turn and fire.
As important in a trusting relationship as the truths you share are the lies you never have to tell.
Headship is not rulership; it is leadership.
Love has these three stages, and compassion accordingly has three stages, and both can exist in different combinations.
Hence there are so many kinds of love and so many kinds of compassion. But the basic, the most fundamental, is to understand this three-rung ladder of love. That will help you, that will give you an insight into where you are, what kind of love you are living in and what kind of compassion is happening to you. Watch. Beware not to remain caught in it. There are higher realms, heights to be climbed, peaks to be attained.
Relationship and love are totally different things. Love is never a relationship, and relationship is never love. Love relates, but it is not a relationship. Relationship is a dead thing, a closed thing. Love is a flowing.
So the first thing to be reminded of: love is never a relationship. Then something else is masquerading as love. Maybe you are searching for a husband or a wife - you are searching for some security, you are searching for some structure. A structured life is a murdered life.
There is a fixation in the human mind for structures, because in a structured life one feels secure, one knows where one is, one knows where one stands in relationship to the other. It seems that because man is born in the womb of the mother and for nine months remains in a structure, that continues deep down in the psyche - and man is always trying to find a structure somewhere.
If he loves, he wants to make a relationship out of it immediately! He wants to get married. He wants to create a certain conditioning. He wants to make it a contract. Or he enters a church, or he enters a political party, or he enters into any club and he wants to be structured, he wants to know where he stands in the hierarchy, in what relationship. He wants to have an identity - that 'I am this.' He does not want to remain uncertain. And life is uncertain. Only death is certain.
No human being can ever "own" another, whether in friendship, love, marriage or parenthood. Many human relationships have been ruined and happiness far too often changed to misery by a failure to understand this.
No matter how much you know a human being, you don't know him enough.
It is hard to predict what I want in a partner. It's more about what the universe brings to me, and what I feel is right.
I'm divorced and I've been to the circus and seen the clowns. This ain't my first rodeo.
