The Wisdom of the Lotus Sutra Vol. 6

The important thing is love and compassion. From that understanding all a couple can do is chant daimoku together with their sights set on lofty goal and strive for true happiness. Even married people were once strangers. Without patience and the effort to understand one another, thing are not likely to go well. Patience is necessary for a couple to live together, earn a living, protect their home and educate their children while dedicating themselves for the sake of others. We need patience in order to become happy. There are many who dream about happiness without being patient. But that is merely a dream; it is a fairy tale. It is to wish for childish, easy life. This illusion breaks up many marriages. The pursuit of such happiness can only end in misery. It is important to make steady efforts to construct something together. From there, real love develops. Real love means wanting to live with the other person throughout eternity. Real marriage is when you have been married for twenty-five years and feel an even deeper love than you did when you first met. Love deepens. Love that does not is merely on the level of simple likes and dislikes.


michele's thoughts
i used to think marriage and my life did not have anything in common. now that i have crossed paths with a beautiful person that i believe is the one for me.....i can't stop thinking and chanting about the possibilities. not to mention, there has been so much talk lately about love and marriage. AND the celebrations of nuptials seems to be spreading amongst the youth. the universe has produced yet another dose of hope.
