Marriage is the union of two divinities that a third might be born on earth. It is the union of two souls in a strong love for the abolishment of separateness. It is that higher unity which fuses the separate unities within the two spirits. It is the golden ring in a chain whose beginning is a glance, and whose ending is Eternity. It is the pure rain that falls from an unblemished sky to fructify and bless the fields of divine Nature.

~Kahlil Gibran~

A heart as soft, a heart as kind,
A heart as sound and free
As in the whole world thou canst find
That heart I’ll give to thee.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.

I love thee – I love thee,
‘Tis all that I can say
It is my vision in the night,
My dreaming in the day.
