Husband and wife are like two doors. Yin and Yang are in harmony, and the sky is clear and the earth is peaceful.
Husband and wife are like two doors.
"Book of Changes": "One yin and one yang are called Tao." Yin and yang represent male and female. Yin and Yang also represent heaven and earth, with yang as heaven and yin as earth.
In the family world, the ethical relationship is called yin and yang of heaven and earth. The sun represents yang and the moon represents yin. The sun and moon together are "bright". If yin and yang are not in harmony, it is unclear. Therefore, only when the yin and yang of a husband and wife are in harmony can they be enlightened.
This is the way of husband and wife.
Two doors support one portal;
Two men and women form a family.
"Book of Changes": "There is heaven and earth and then there are all things, there are all things and then there are men and women, there are men and women and then there are couples, there are couples and then there are fathers and sons."
In a family, Men are like heaven, and nature is vigorous and self-improvement, so men must be strong and responsible. Women are like the earth, the terrain is Kun, and they are virtuous, so women must be tolerant and gentle. The more virtuous a woman is, the better her children will be, and the more successful her husband will be.
When men and women in a family occupy their respective positions, and yin and yang are in harmony, the family will be harmonious and warm, and the children will grow up healthily.
Two doors are the same size, and two people are equal; each door has its own doorway, and two people have their own opinions. Men are like mountains and women are like water. Mountains inherit the masculinity of heaven, and water absorbs the aura of earth.
Since ancient times, the interdependence of mountains and rivers can form beautiful pictures. Green mountains and green waters are surrounded by mountains and rivers. Mountains and water are always closely dependent on each other. Without mountains and water, there will be nothing beautiful, and without water, there will be nothing majestic.
The world is so magical. Only the harmony of yin and yang can everything last forever.
Two doors need only one lock to lock them firmly;
Only two people with one heart can be close to each other.
"Book of Changes": "In the family, women are in the inner position, and men are in the outer position. Men and women are in the right position, which is the righteousness of heaven and earth."
Men are the Qian (Heaven), If you are outside the Lord, you should take your wife without caring about her. Women are Kun (earth), and if you are inside the Lord, you should help your husband without tiring him out. A man leads his wife to practice virtue, and a woman helps her husband become virtuous. To truly achieve this is the balance of yin and yang.
Two doors can only be painted in one color to look good; two people must have the same face so that they will not embarrass each other. Men should lead by example instead of controlling their wives. This is for heaven.
Does heaven control earth? God doesn't care, it mainly serves as an example. Men serve as the backbone of the family, are the sunshine and rain, and are always giving. Women should be content with whatever comes their way, be poor or rich, be high or low, just like water that can nourish all things without competing with them.
When the two doors are opened and closed, they will make a creaking sound;
When two people get along for a long time, it is inevitable that they will bump into each other.
A man who is happy at home and has good self-cultivation is called Tianqing; a woman who is harmonious at home and does not lose her temper is called Dining. When the earth is peaceful, the genius will be clear. Men's tempers are forced out by women. Women must first achieve earth, and then men can achieve heaven.
If the sky is unclear, there will be thunder and hail at most, and if the ground is restless, there will be earthquakes. Therefore, if the sky is unclear, it will harm a family, and if the ground is restless, it will be a disaster for a family.
The two doors will deform after being exposed to the sun and rain. At this time, they need to be repaired to make them fit again;
When two people go through hardships, there will be a gap, and at this time they must understand each other. , can the rain pass and the sky clear.
The ancients said: "If each takes responsibility, the sky will be clear and the earth will be peaceful; if each takes responsibility, the world will be turned upside down."
When husband and wife get along for a long time, some of their own weaknesses will be exposed, and they should reflect on each other. The right way is to blame oneself and get along with each other. If you blame each other, you will become increasingly alienated and even turn upside down.
When encountering a storm, both doors must be closed at the same time; when encountering hardships, two people must work together. "Book of Changes": "When two people are of the same mind, their sharpness can break through metal." Men love and pity women, and women admire men. Husband and wife are destined to cross each other in the same boat after ten years of cultivation, and sleep on the same pillow after a hundred years of cultivation.
Wake up from time to time and have a grateful and cherishing heart, which will bring infinite joy to yourself and your family.
When welcoming distinguished guests, both doors should be opened; when a major event occurs, both people should open their hearts and discuss it together. Husband and wife are the deepest practice, and home is the best place of spiritual practice. Two people should talk about love, the more they talk about each other, the stronger the love will be; don't talk about reason, the more they talk about reason, the more divided they will be.
The love between husband and wife needs to be managed. Only with more understanding, more tolerance, more consideration and more communication can they stay together happily for a lifetime.
Communication between husband and wife takes place almost every day. We must pay attention to the art of speaking, talk candidly and enthusiastically, and have the attitude of discussing problems with each other.
The man opens the door on the left and goes out to earn money;
The woman leans on the door on the right and keeps watch at home.
The word "marriage" is both female. Women are the feng shui of the family. If a woman is busy, a man will be silent; if a woman is not gentle, the family will not be prosperous. The wife is her husband's wealth star. If a woman can be respected by her husband, happy and favored, her husband's wealth and career will be good. This is called "wife wealth".
The top line on the door represents men, the bottom line represents women, and the horizontal line represents children. Husband and wife are the beginning of human relations and the foundation of all changes. If the yin and yang are in harmony with the heaven and earth, the couple and their descendants will be prosperous.
