One of the deepest human yearnings is connectedness, true, absolute connectedness. We have this deep longing to be irrevocably linked to another body, another soul (Chinese phoenix tattoos of love are a good way for this). This is, I guess, what inspires the long-term companionship of marriage. marriage is not only about procreating and raising children. marriage has the potential to go much deeper. apparently that was so even in 13th century China. This is interesting because sociologists sometimes have us believe that marriage inspired by romantic love, love that is driven primarily by emotions and only secondarily by physical passions , is a product of medieval Europe. As "Kuan Tao-Sheng" shows the Chinese phoenix tattoos. This deep desire for love, to be one with another on all levels, crosses all times and all boundaries. and how lovely to see that she fulfilled her desire. Her beautiful words give wings and hope to all who long to be married, and to those who have entered this bond between two people. |
