Here, in the America of the l990's, sex has become a subject that suffuses the whole culture. It has become a vital component of advertising, an endless subject of talk shows, books and magazines abound with every detail of the physical aspects of this subject.
Every aberrant behavior is a subject of afternoon television.
Taboos of the past have totally disintegrated. While a subject that was once hidden has become one of every day discussion, in all the talk, the spiritual dimension and sacredness of this communion of two souls that become one has been completely overlooked. Here, Dr. Taniguchi reminds us of the divine nature of that institution we know as marriage. It is the divine purpose of two lives to be united as husband and wife in the original oneness that was temporarily separated as negative and positive forces. This is the reason why a marriage must be established on the understanding that the two lives are really an inseparable one and it is the manifestation in the phenomenal world of this awareness.
