A Union of Hearts

I am told of a study about marriage which has ascertained that the young get married for sex and children; 30-50s (maybe older) people join together for help with a business or to pool resources for whatever reason. But elders marry for companionship. I find this interesting for many reasons! I’ve been married three times and I don’t think it was ever for the top reasons given in this study. I plan on marrying soon, for the final time, and we don’t fall into the category of  companionship seekers. We are both comfortable with ourselves, so much so that we plan to live in different states — but not different states of mind, and that’s what we find important. Words have always been more important to us than physical presence. We feel no separation. We are awakening to something new, fearlessly!
