And The Two Shall Become One: Solving The Mystery Of Supernatural Marriage

From every man and woman there emanates a light that reaches directly to heaven. And when two souls destined to be together find each other, their individual lights join as one, as a single shining beam issuing forth from their united spirit.
~The Baal Shem Tov
(as taken from page 9 of The Jewish Wedding Book by Rabbi Daniel B. Syme)

There is something truly divine, excuse me, Supernatural, in the notion that two seemingly individual persons can, in truth, become one; but, truth it is. In fact, if the two do not become one in spirit, soul, and body, the GOD of the universe does not qualify it as a true marriage.

Universal law dictates that two, once joined together by GOD, cannot be (rather than should not) be separated.

The power of the covenantal union loosely-termed by humans as marriage, is so far beyond what the feeble human mind can ever conceive. Marriage is not merely an act to be engaged in. It is not just a progression of a relationship to some arbitrary person you meet on the street, in the bar, at the club, at the gym, or even at church. Marriage is a spiritual force proceeding from the GOD of the Universe to unite two persons (a man and his w0-man); it is the bringing together of the puzzle pieces to form a beautifully complete picture. It is the spiritual force of the GOD of the Universe upon two persons (a man and his w0-man) to establish an ordinal government representative of the universal (spiritual) one.

Marriage, in its purest and intended form, is the spiritual force emanating from the GOD of the Universe to "naturally" bring together what (who), Supernaturally, was always together.

It is not your job or mine to "find" someone to become one with/to marry with our grossly flawed concept of dating that is more aptly termed "test driving" relationships. It is the man's responsibility to seek out his heart, which can only be found in the wo-man the GOD of the Universe created for him and from him. It is the wo-man/wife's job, to be in the process of preparing herself to be found by her one and only.

Our misunderstanding and/or self-serving interpretation of this process explains why the divorce rate, oddly enough, in secular and religious circles, is out-of-this-world. We have, for far too long, taken upon ourselves the mating process that can only be completed by the GOD of the Universe who made man (male) and then, in a singularly profound and strategic act, took his wife from his very own rib (heart).
