Through a union we call a “marriage”, a husband and wife create a tree that must be nurtured.
The branches that form on the tree represent their offspring and the couple have a duty to keep the branches safely intact until they’re ready to be propagated.
To manage the tree, the roots of the tree (values) must be protected. What keeps the roots healthy and branches intact are a combination of the right nutrients: sunlight, water, soil.
The sunlight is love, water is communication, and the soil represents human needs. Proper flow of communication makes it possible for us to express love and our needs.
To grow a healthy tree as parents, the places our energy must flow runs deeper.
