The time of your entry into marriage and commitment is known to your Creator, as is the destiny and point of consciousness of both you and your intended partner.
Plan of Life
Marriage is an important rite of passage. It is just as important as birth and death. So there is no such thing as error in the plan of your life -- your destiny. There is a Divine Force that knows all things, that is aware of every step that you take, of every hair on your head. There is no need for fear, no need for doubt. If you do have doubts then meditate on them, listen to the innermost murmurings of your heart. Talk to your Creator and seek Its peace, seek Its counsel, and what you desire to know will be released to you. Have faith, trust in the Divine Force that has guided you in your life so far and will guide you in the future. Your marriage partner awaits you just as eagerly as you await your partner.
Spiritual Aspects and Intuition
Do not forget that the male aspect of spirit is not always in a male body and the female aspect of spirit is not always in a female body. The male aspect will always pursue the female aspect and it is the female aspect that makes the choice, using her divine power, her inutitive channel. Nevertheless, sometimes the female aspect of spirit, with its powers of selection, can be in a male body. So outwardly it is not always the male that seeks the female and the all knowing female that accepts or rejects. It can work the other way around especially when a very strong female aspect of spirit is in a male body.
Breakdowns in Marriage
The reasons for breakdowns in marriage are infinite and depend, of course, on the nature of the relationships. In the World in which you live today so many people have relationships before they actually get married that truly it can be said that they have been married several times and I mean this not in the true sense of the word but in the way that they live together and have a sexual relationship! If someone enters into such a relationship with selfish motivation, seeking only support from their partner, always taking rather than giving, then obviously the relationship is meaningful for them only so long as their partner gives, as they are getting what they want from the relationship.
However, when they have taken as much as they want, or they find someone else who is prepared to give more, they end the relationship and move on. This can be true on many levels of life. I would say that if you enter into such a relationship, never intending marriage, then your motivation is usually wrong and that you have a selfish, not a selfless, motivation. You are entering the relationship not to consummate a holy act of creation, but to satisfy the needs of your lower self. This inevitably leads to conflict and that is why so many people are continually changing partners.
Moment of Choice
When we talk urges and drives we are using terminology which is difficult to quantify. However my understanding of physical life is that no matter what the urge, conscious or unconscious, before you actually allow that urge to become physical reality there is a moment of choice when you can either say "Yes" or "No" to it, when you can either accept or reject it. There is a moment when you can exercise the divine gift of free choice. You have to make the choice and that choice, of course, should be based on your soul wisdom, but if, for example, you are so besotted with someone that you do not want to listen to your soul then you will not stop to meditate in your heart to see if what you are doing is correct. But that moment of choice is there and it is there more for the woman than for the man. It is the man who pursues the woman seeking her wisdom. It is then up to the woman to make the choice and to either accept or reject him.
Marrying Too Young
Many people make the mistake of marrying at too young an age, with wrong motivations. Many marriages break up simply because at the time they were entered into neither of the people concerned really knew what they were doing. But as one grows older and more mature, and perhaps sees a more spiritual purpose in marriage, there is nothing to stop you attracting your true partner to you. You have just made a little diversion from your destiny path, a diversion which has taught you many lessons. You can return to your path again with ease.
