What is Marriage?

Ask what is marriage today and you will get as many answers as if you asked what is love? Marriage by its definition has changed throughout history and dramatically so in the last 70 years especially. Many will point to the 72 billion dollar (2022 US figures) wedding industry telling you how to get married, and then there's a 50 billion dollar divorce industry ready to tell you how to get out of it. Meanwhile support during marriage is so poorly support with only a 4 billion dollar industry (2023 stats) by comparison.

This seems absurd given a great marriage remains a life goal for as many as 90% of the population. And our biggest evolution in marriage is that people today are not simply looking for any kind of marriage but the ultimate experience of a marriage - one based on an enduring love at the heart of it.

Is this possible?

Twenty percent of marriages qualify as "in distress" at any given time. Forty to 50% of all first marriages end in divorce in the US alone, with a third to as much as 80% reporting they regretted the decision. No one plans to divorce yet in the absence of education, resources and supports for marriage being in place, the odds are against you. The readiness of an industry incented by profiting from you divorcing makes all this especially challenging. Infidelity, or cheating, that encompasses various acts of unfaithfulness, including emotional, financial, or physical betrayals, can mar the marriage often beyond repair.

Understandably disenchanted with marriage as modeled by many, younger generations are increasingly not planning to marry at all while others are marrying driven by economic reasons or for children. What is missing is that rather than learning new relationship tools or skills, most are still risking the most important relationship of their lives and "winging it" on a vague hope they will have a life-long fulfilling romance and intimacy between them and their spouse.

At 50% ending in divorce many ask if' marriage were a washing machine with a 50% chance of breakdown no one would buy it. Yet an enduring marriage for love as fragile as this is remains the golden ring to attain nonetheless.

Here we welcome modern marriage in all its shifting forms and challenges and we share with you a template that clears away the unconscious agreements and patterns that undermine even your best intentions.

If you want a marriage that doesn't mean "settling", power games of concealment or compromise, or any of the myriad of reasons marriage breaks down and you would much rather have an experience of marriage that is built instead on co-commitment to personal creative growth, and evolving from an unconscious to a conscious-loving relationship, one rooted in co-creating an enduring as well as deeply intimacy-expanding kind of love, then you are in the right place.

Marriage here is about sharing with you the tools and practices for co-creating and expanding into a sustainable whole body intelligent relationship that supports the whole of each of you while also your evolutionary growth in consciousness as a married couple.
