If you do not understand racism (white supremacy) and how it works, everything else you understand will only confuse you. - Neely Fuller

We need something to clarify everything for us, because we get confused...but if we use the concept of Asili, we will understand that whatever it is they are doing, whatever terms they use, however they come at you, you need to be thinking about what? How is this going to facilitate their power and help them to dominate me? -Marimba Ani

A Marriage License Does Not Legitimize A Relationship
Unity Consciousness #139

.

The purpose of marriage is not to make two people happy.

The purpose of marriage is not so two people can live happily ever after together in love romantically.

Neither of these are a primary purpose or a secondary purpose of marriage.

Marriage For Real

Marriage is preordained by the Creator, not by a minister, justice of the peace or a government record keeper.

Marriage's primary purpose is the bringing forth of healthy offspring to support the healthy continuation of the species. Therefore, even if two people are not ceremonially married according to societal practices, if a child is involved, they are still married in purpose. This means the primary responsibility of the two people has not changed and remains the bringing forth of a healthy child to support the health and healing of the species.

The Other Stuff

Marriage licenses, ceremonies and the two people do not make each other whole. Marriage is intended to be between two whole people, especially since it takes more than two to make a marriage thing go right. Loneliness, as in “I don't want to spend the rest of my life alone,” is not a good reason to enter into a marriage relationship. The notion of “love” is best left out of the equation. Love is poorly understood. We have the social carnage to prove it. Wholeness is what we should be looking for within ourselves and in the other person. Wholeness is defined and demonstrated by knowledge of self which brings forth the proper understanding necessary to enter into a marriage decision.

Sex is an act of marriage. This is true with or without a license and with or without conception. This must be so because the primary purpose of sex is not for pleasure but for procreation.

Food tastes good and is hungered for in order to make you want to eat. Sex feels good and is desired in order to make you want to procreate. Call it making love if you want, but that is simply the romanticizing of a ritual, which sex is, to replenish the species. Let me be clear. Every time a man and a woman has sex, they are getting married or reconfirming vows of marriage. This is true whether we know it or not.

More About Marriage Ceremonies

A marriage ceremony has multiple purposes.
1. It publicly confirms rights and responsibilities two individuals have to each other, their families and the village. This also publicly confirms rights and responsibilities of the families and of the village to the two individuals and their offspring.
2. It is the physical ritualizing of village acknowledgement and preapproval. Marriage is done before the wedding day comes. Objections are heard long before a ceremony to avoid current day foolishness of “ if any person has reason why these two should not get married, let them speak now or forever hold their peace.”
Objections and cold feet are worked out beforehand especially since the maturity level and appropriateness of the two people has been assessed by the families and elders of the village.
3. It allows the village, which includes the ancestors, to participate in an act that is critical to the strengthening of the village.
4. It is the physical ritualizing and spiritual consummation of all stakeholders before physical consummation. All stakeholders must be dedicated and married to Maat before doing so with each other.


Know this people. There are marriages of all types on all levels constantly taking place. In regards to these marriages, we are a part of multiple marriages that exist in many ways on many levels. We are married. Marriage is never a two individuals thing. It is always a family, village and universal thing. A marriage is legit if the community benefits. In other words, the marriage is legit if the higher self benefits.

In keeping with “Conception, Birth & Upbringing,” marriage, although it is the preferred situation in many cases, is not always supposed to happen. This is because greater workings are taking place. Due to the effects our free will is having on the universe, the Creator is making adaptations to creation in order to still fulfill the Master Plan. We must extend our recognition and considerations beyond self, two people, family and village.

It is time to retie the knot of marriage to its original purposes and restore marriage to its proper place in the community. In doing so, pretty much all else will be restored.
