What is the purpose of marriage? | August 5, 2025

The station between man and woman (marriage) exists in the modern world as a legal fiction, that can be changed and manipulated by the will of the serpent, and this legal form of marriage has severely departed from the primordial and sacred station between man and woman that once was, and in this post this latter is what I will refer to as marriage, whereas the former I will refer to as the marital contract, for marriage in modern times has nothing to do with the celestial order or the sacred, it is merely a legal fiction meant to facilitate tax advantages and other transactional considerations. The laws of of nature as put forth by God's commands, have ordained that men and women should fancy each others discovery and company for the purpose of creating more life, and as such it is indeed a necessary component of any society that wish to propagate itself in time to encourage the marriage of two persons that have reached adulthood, usually in the sexual sense, and as such the primary function/purpose of this enterprise that binds man to woman is to operate for the propagation of life, nothing else. Without the primordial justification for sexual intercourse, the justification for marriage falls apart, and with it the entire justification for society and civilized life, for without men and women that act accordingly to the moral laws of the universe, there would be no hope and there would be no reason for man to further himself into the future, and in that world man would indeed be short lived, as the apex predator would rightly reduce his kind to nonexistence. You see, man is a fundamentally sick and depraved creature, for he lusts for the meat before he lusts for the qualities and the adventures of life, and this is due to man's covenant with the serpent that he made in the ancient past: in gaining awareness of the world and of life—consciousness and conscience—man made himself fundamentally sick, for he placed the serpent on his neck and the entire enterprise of man's life became the attempt to become freed from the serpent and the hardships of life, for man is fundamentally depraved and sick in his most primordial form. What makes man great is fundamentally what sets him apart from all other creatures of the creation, but it is also what makes man fundamentally depraved and diseased, and this is why the states of celibacy and sexual abstinence in particular have been made the hardest quest and struggle of man – indeed man must resist the meat yet his senses and fundamental constitution has made this task close to impossible. Verily, the liberal man would justify man's lust for meat as his "natural" and rightful instinct and that any attempt on the part of man to cease this sin would be fundamentally oppressive and evil, for the liberal paradigm, the humanist axiom, has reduced man to the animal of man, the mass man of the plebeian horde, and this state, the state of the animal of homo sapiens sapiens, is what modern man is celebrating as "reason" and liberty. All of this goes to show how depraved man is, and especially how depraved man has become in the times of the Kali Yuga and why marriage is no such thing.

    In the modern day, marriage as an institution has been "liberalized" and destroyed to the point where in most so-called "advanced" societies, men-men and women-women relationships have been made subject to the station of marriage in the legal form as well, which goes to show why I made it a point at the start of this post to clearly distinguish between the marital contract and the sacred station of marriage. Even if you claim to be a devoted husband of a devoted wife, you may not call yourself this in the context, especially of the imperial core, for if you accept the humanist axiom's assertion that anyone and anything goes you are not a devoted husband or wife; this is just quite impossible in the modern day. I will make the concession that there may be such a thing as sacred and true marriage in distant corners of the world yet colonized and infected by the white western man, but these places are few and far between; all else it should be taken as a given that no-one can truly claim to be married in the modern day. You may then in this just presented context ask: what is the purpose of marriage beyond simply creating more life? Well, the purpose of marriage is and was never material in nature, but for the disciples of liberal and so-called "enlightened" dogma I can see why it would be quite hard to see the spiritual and sacred aspect of a true bond between creatures of fundamentally opposite attraction and constitution. You are simply too blind to the sacred, the transcendental, the dharma, to see the point, for you are operating under the assumption that everything worth value must produce something of the material kind, and beyond children you see no other purpose in marriage, unless you unleash your inner demons on the world and allow yourself to fall into depravities that I refuse to mention in text or indeed in speech. Did I answer the question? Yes, I did answer the question but for the person not privy to the sacred I don't think the message was clear enough, but it is not my job or intention to justify anything in the material sense. You will simply have to depart from the world and seek out the light if you want the sacred answer to why marriage is meaningful.

    What about the numbers when it comes to marriage, does it always have to be male-female with a ration of 1:1? No, in my view there are no arguments against polygamy, other than the obvious that if a man seeks the attention of another woman, that the woman that he has already betrothed could evince frustration. In the marriage between one man and multiple women, I would suggest that the union should be extended to every individual of that union, and if one woman do not want the man to marry another woman that the man at the very least should take her view into proper consideration, but from a purely material point of view in the creation of more children there is really no point for a man to only betroth one woman in his lifetime. When it comes to women marriage of more than one man I am against this, for a variety of reasons: first and foremost, a woman can only be impregnated by one man and it takes a significant amount of time for a pregnant woman to birth a child; secondly, the amount of rift and tension this could cause would be bad for the societal organism; and finally, if one woman marries multiple men, she will invariably deprive other women of men and thus other children of life, because the aforementioned reasons. In this sense, there is no equality between men and women, but there is also no equality between men and women in the creation of life either, for life is fundamentally not equal. Besides, in any healthy society there will always be a surplus of womankind compared to men. In the end, the purpose of marriage is purely spiritual, for the creation of more and new life is a spiritual enterprise indeed.
