Marriage is a union of souls from "summary" of The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran
In the depth of your hopes and desires lies your silent knowledge of the beyond; and like seeds dreaming beneath the snow your heart dreams of spring. Trust the dreams, for in them is hidden the gate to eternity. Your fear of the unknown is what keeps you from the union of souls that marriage brings. But fear not the unknown, for it is where the beauty of love truly blossoms. In marriage, you shall not only share your bread and wine, but you shall also share the rhythm of the heart. For the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow, yet they stand together in harmony. Let there be spaces in your togetherness, and let the winds of the heavens dance between you. Love one another, but make not a bond of love. Let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls. For only the hand of Life can contain your hearts. And stand together, yet not too near together: for the pillars of the temple stand apart, and the oak tree and the cypress grow not in each other’s shadow. As you journey through the seasons of life together, remember that the true essence of marriage lies in the union of your souls. Your love should be like a flowing river, always changing yet always true. And when the time comes to part ways, do not let your hearts be weighed down by the sorrow of separation. For even as the love that brought you together must guide you through the darkness of the unknown, it will also lead you back to the light of eternity.
