"If you go into marriage with a program, you will find that it won’t work. Successful marriage is leading innovative lives together,  being open, non-programmed.  It’s a free fall: how you handle  each new thing as it comes along. As a drop of oil on the sea, you must float, using intellect and compassion to ride the waves."

"Marriage took place in the psyche first, and the physical realization of their love [Parzival and Condwiramurs] was the fulfillment of a spiritual marriage; it did not work the there way around. No priest confirmed the marriage. It was confirmed in love and was itself the sacrament of love. And neither lust nor fear, but courage and compassion, were its motivations . . ."
