“If you get over the value judgments you can listen to what it is you need to do without getting caught in all of the social pressures about marriage or no-marriage. The true marriage is with God. The reason you form a conscious marriage on the physical plane with a partner is in order to do the work of coming to God together. That is the only reason for marrying when you’re conscious. The only reason. If you are marrying for economics, if you’re marrying for passion, if you’re marrying for convenience, if you’re marrying for sexual gratification, it will pass and there is suffering. The only marriage contract that works is what the original contract was—we enter into this contract in order to come to God. In fact that is what everything you’re doing is about.“
