Marriage means not only a union of
two bodies but also union of two souls.
This is a spiritual endeavor.
The basis
of spiritual progress is love. A man is an
ideal man in proportion to the deep and
pure love in his heat. Devotion means
sentimental love for God and a devotee
means a lover of God. The spiritual
endeavor of love for God is to make our
life full of divine sentiments of love.
Only love is God. The experience of
God in mans heart is expressed as a
surge of love. The practical experience
of this spiritual grandeur of love learnt
in childhood is possible only in the
laboratory of married life. Unique
inseparable belonging and dedication
for each other, faith, goodwill and
equality and faithfulness makes the life
full of love and warmth. A sense of
belong in gness is a unique feeling. The
one for whom this feeling develops
becomes very dear to us. The husband
and wife do have human weaknesses
and faults, but if they understand the
aim of life, there is mutual sense of
belong in gness, dedication, unity of
effort and the householder's life
progresses with joy.
