Yes, this is quite an unfortunate perspective of marriage. There’s a Latin word, consonantia, defined musically as: all notes in their perfect distinctness are yet blended in one… I find this definition befitting in marriage, as well. There is harmony and beauty in creating something more than merely the sum of two parts.

“…the agony of the separate self, relieved of the inherent torture called time and the gruesome tragedy called space.” Time and space themselves are not the torture or tragedy. They are gifts. We have set the trap and enslaved ourselves within them. We need to move beyond “the edge of the nondual revelation” and “be relieved of the burden of our sleep-walking dreams” to see that. There are many roads on and names for this journey, perhaps another is “Love.”
