If you get married to depend on someone, that’s not a real marriage. Marriage is equal sharing of life. You both go toward the goal together, helping each other. There should be assistance, not dependence. If you depend on the other person and don’t get what you where expecting, it will disturb your marriage.

Spiritual marriage means you don’t expect anything from the other partner. You marry someone else to give all that you can. That’s the end of it. You don’t need to expect anything in return, not even love. The true purpose of marriage is to give, not to ask for anything for yourself. Such a marriage is a spiritual marriage, one that is not bound by material dependency. You are together in spirit. That is what is meant by a marriage made in heaven. And it will last a long time.
