Marriage: the Crucible

Work of the eyes is done, now go and do heart work on all the images imprisoned — Rainer Maria Rilke Crucible: A severe test, as of patience or belief; a trial. and A vessel made of a refractory substance such as graphite or porcelain, used for melting and calcining materials at high temperatures. therefore marriage is a severe test of our belief in each other and ourselves requiring patience for change acceptance in giving life giving opportunity to be oneself a test of patience with repetitive mistakes and fear a trial a life trial moving forward with knowledge and heartbreak a vessel then strong enough to withstand the heat of love and time where we melt together again again again

Marriage is definitely the place for the test of maturity and the place for growth. Nicely done on a good subject. Keep writing. Sara
