The Subject of Marriage

"Marriage among the elite has always been a business deal...that's how they kept their money with just a few. But in this era of extreme materialism, the marriage business is just another victim that reflects our lack of spirituality, recognition of self worth, the recognition of a purpose beyond the immediate and the awareness that we are all connected and you will find the one that is meant for you at a time when both of you have put in the work on one's self to recognize and benefit from each other. We don't understand continuation of anything in a society where everything that is made is manufactured to be replaced within 2 years...and our marriages and commitments have taken the same path because we (mistakenly) think this is normal." - Safiyyah Abdullah 1.3.13
