The secret of love and marriage is that of religion itself. It is the emergence of the larger self. It is the finding of one's life by losing it. The high and fine art of married life is in this mutual enrichment, mental and spiritual, this give and take between two personalities, this mingling of two endowments which depletes neither, but enables each. The more he or she gives, to receive only the more.
Marriage is dedication.
You give yourself, your life and love, into the hands of the one you love. You do so trustingly and generously. By the same token, each of you receives a gift - the life and love of the other. You receive this gift not only from the one you love, but also from the parents who brought you into the world and reared you and from the personal world of friends and family who are joined in friendship and faith in your marriage. Angus and Flora believe that there should be equality between men and women in every relevant way and that it is especially important for this principle to be recognized in the marriage relationship.
