Maybe the event of such happenings is due to
weak foundation of the knowledge of marriage.
The parties involved should have proper guidance
into this important event.
Found this passage from Atharva Veda which may
provide good reading for some of us.
"The union of hearts and minds
and freedom from hate I'll bring you.
Love one another as the cow
loves the calf that she has borne.
Let son be loyal to father,
and of one mind with his mother;
let wife speak to husband words
that are honey-sweet and gentle.
Let not a brother hate a brother,
nor a sister hate a sister,
unanimous, united in aims,
speak you words with friendliness.
I will make the prayer for that
concord among men at home
by which the gods do not separate,
nor ever hate one another.
Be not parted--growing old, taking thought,
thriving together, moving under a common yoke,
come speaking sweetly to one another;
I'll make you have one aim and be of one mind.
Common be your water-store, common your share of food;
I bind you together to a common yoke.
United, gather round the sacrificial fire
like spokes around the nave of a wheel.
With your common desire I'll make you all
have one aim, be of one mind, following one leader,
like the gods who preserve their immortality.
Morn and eve may there be the loving heart in you.
:light:
It takes time to mend a broken heart but once the lesson
is learn, life have to go on and leave the past behind.
The Creator knows what is happening to you, so you can
go and help yourself to all the happines that you want.
