Quarrels in Marriage–What Are They Really About?

Conducted by consultants Barbara Allen, Anne Fielding, and Pauline Meglino, of the teaching trio There Are Wives, this cultural and down-to-earth event will be taking up these sentences from Aesthetic Realism and Love, a groundbreaking lecture by Eli Siegel, founder of Aesthetic Realism:

“The purpose of marriage is to like the world. You’re not marrying only a person, but a representative of the outside world. But if you don’t want to respect the world through this person, there come to be quarrels.  They never come really from the thing that seems to be the cause of the quarrel. They come from the fact that two people who think they adore each other are also limiting each other. When we love a person it should be because that person is bringing out strength in us, enabling us to be more ourselves.”
