Marriage - A Mathematical Anomaly

"In love the paradox occurs that two beings become one and yet remain two."

Erich Fromm

We hear a lot of talk about how when two people marry they become one. The holy books say it and frankly it is a beautiful idea.

BUT! And this is a big "but", people need space. One but still two. A person can say "We are one so what I want is what she wants". Or "How can he disagree with me - we are ONE?" Or "How can he need so much time for himself - we are a pair?"

Mistake! You ARE one - but remain two. Close as can be - while allowing the other person his or her emotional and physical space.

Love and blessings!!:)
