Oh you gotta love this. I just found this Joseph Campbell quote on the White Hot Truth: with Danielle LaPorte. www.whitehottruth.com
I have always loved Joseph Campbell but I don’t think I’ve ever seen this quote. It’s so true…
Marriage is not a love affair, it’s an ordeal. It is a religious exercise, a sacrament, the grace of participating in another life. 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.
– Joseph Campbell
