there's a very fine line between
cynically mocking marriage and
celebrating what is most godly about
marriage very fine line because they
both zero in on the same aspect of
marriage
those who cynically mock the Institute
institution of marriage and those who
revere it as the most godly thing that a
human being can do are zeroing in on the
same aspect of marriage you know what
that is
that marriage is an ego destroyer so
depending on how you regard ego is how
you regard something that destroys ego
so if you would like to keep your ego
intact so marriage is a big threat if
your quest in life is to get rid of that
impediment to clear the blockage so that
the infinite can shine straight through
unimpeded into your life then the most
spiritually how should I say the most
advantageous decision a person can make
toward his own spiritual growth or her
own spiritual growth how to get close to
God how to really remove anything that
gets in between us and infinity get get
a spouse getting married and then God
can enter our lives in all types of ways
and all types was not just blessing the
marriage but in all aspects of life
