“The second stage of marriage, the alchemical stage, is a sacrificing of the visible entity for a transcendent good, two experiencing that they are one. If still living in the primary stage of marriage, they will go apart when the children leave. Daddy will fall in love with a young, nubile girl and run off; Mother will be left with an empty house and heart.”

Joseph Campbell 1904 – 1987 CE via Shan Dao
