I believe marriage to be natural. It is a union of two individuals that long to be together to share their lives with one another for a lifetime. It is a statement saying, when things go wrong and life seems to be tuff, you agree to stick it out together with “symphonic communication”. Marriage consist of disagreements at times, happiness, laughter, joy, sadness, sensuality, edification, revelation, expectation, peace, love, encouragement, and support. Each of these is a part of marriage. Usually people get married because they unconditionally love each other, or at lease that is how it was really meant to be. Marriage is making a commitment to entrust your life in the hands of that other individual, to meet you where your at, love you just for who you are, and to speak to the person inside of you that God has called you to be and vice versa.
Marriage from my perspective is to have that warm body lying next to you when you wake in the morning, being able to hold her, kiss her, smell her, hear her voice like the melodious enchantment of angels, and to set your gaze upon her as she is face-to-face with you, like the greatest discovery since time began, almost as if to kiss you but never touching, just close enough to where you can feel her presence overwhelming you and easing all tension.
My wife is my other of me, without her I can never truly exist and live as a complete human and spiritual being according to God's divine ordination. My wife is my lily in deep waters and my showers in spring. She is my best friend, like sweet honey running down like oil from the clouds of heaven that sooths my cravings and graces my soul in good times and bad. The best part about the ripples in the waters of love is that they make our marriage that much stronger and bring us that much closer to together like a sacred communion. She makes me smile when I am down. When I see My Beloved, My Lily, My Lady, her smile, oh yes, her smile dashes with joy and laughter like little tooties playing in the heavenly clouds.
To ponder this thought, this imagery, to ask someone is marriage natural is like asking someone to think backwards to the beginning of time and asking, “when was God, the Almighty power, manifested into existence, or the essence of a state of being?” how can you really answer that? You can't, He just is. The “marriage of love” is the same way in that it is greater than the most profound words could ever express, or than the greatest minds can ever conceive, for “marriage” is natural and always will be.
All these things that have been noted about what marriage is and what makes it natural are only a small part of what resides in the true essence of marriage and what it is. Marriage can be summed up best as a continual growing relationship consumed in the very deepest profoundness of love amidst two most intimate friends that cherish each other and lavish each other with gifts of the heart. It is an ever experience of joy and humble interactions of submissiveness. You don't just truly love someone because they do certain things, or say certain thins but, because they are. Love is no respecter of persons and therefore has no boundaries.
Marriage is a visual manifestation of love and of sharing your life with one that understands your inner most being, seeking to know you internally for a lifetime. Like a radio making a connection with radio waves to audibly reveal the outcome of the transmission, marriage is also this way in that it is a revelation of the whole you and what drives you as an individual (self actualization), of destiny, purpose, and dreams, the essence of you and the manifestation of that person. This is the beginning of everlasting growth and happiness with God as your source. As a whole, marriage defines itself to me as God and the life-long intimate experience of the very essence of that significant other for which the individual has made a lasting connection on a frequency that is forever. So in, closing, let me ask you, what does marriage mean to you? In Order to have the slightest understanding and insight, one must seek the answer by way of his or her own heart through their inner most being, for this is how love speaks and marriage exists. So to me, is marriage natural? Yes! Yet, even more so, it is divine. Marriage is not something we manifest by way of our own intellectual actualization, but marriage is a continual existence since the beginning of time. To understand it and define it is a whole new stanza in itself. If you have a rose seed planted and no blossoms, can you smell the roses?
