Khalil/Kahlil Gibran, the renowned Lebanese-American poet, wrote extensively on the subject of marriage in his book "The Prophet." In the chapter titled "On Marriage," he shares his profound insights and wisdom about the nature of marriage, love, and partnership. The chapter is a poetic exploration of the complexities and beauty of the marital relationship. Here is an excerpt from Gibran's "On Marriage" in "The Prophet":
But let there be spaces in your togetherness,
And let the winds of the heavens dance
between you.
Love one another, but make not a bond
of love:
Let it rather be a moving sea between
the shores of your souls.
-Khalil (Kahlil) Gibran
ولكن ، فليتخلل التئامكما فسحات
حتي تتيحا لرياح السماوات أن ترقص بينكما
ليحب احدكما الاخر ، ولكن لا تجعلا من الحب قيدا
بل اجعلاه بحرا متدفقا بين شواطئ أرواحكما
خليل جبران -
