Can marriage be spiritual?

Synthesized from Source definition

"Marriage as an institution cannot be spiritual, for true spirituality thrives in the playful spontaneity of free consciousness, not in the rigidity of rules and contracts."

No—marriage as a fixed rule isn’t spiritual; real spirit is playful, free, and creative, not stiff and serious.
Why this matters practically
- Relate playfully, not contractually; let love be alive and creative.
- Use humor to dissolve ego, tension, and dogma in daily life.
- Prioritize living awareness over social rules when choosing and shaping relationships.
