More than an affective union, marriage is seen as the coexistence necessary for the progress of the Spirits who meet - or meet again - on the journey of reincarnation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Based on the teachings of Martins Peralva, in <em>Studying Mediumship<\/em>, In this way, we can classify marital unions into five types, each corresponding to the evolutionary level of the Spirits and their learning needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>1. Accidental Marriages<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These are unions that were not foreseen on the spiritual plane. They arise from the meeting of spirits who are still immature, driven by passing impulses such as physical attraction, material interests, escape from conflicts, vanity or hasty decisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There's no reincarnation planning here - just human circumstances that intersect. That's why marriages are often marked by instability and little emotional depth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>2. Trial marriages<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are the most common in a world of trials and atonements like ours. In this type of marriage, the Spirits meet again to repair past faults, adjust broken bonds and develop virtues such as tolerance, forgiveness and patience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These unions are planned on the spiritual plane, where benefactors prepare the reunion and even \u201cmagnetize\u201d the future spouses so that they feel sympathy and enchantment, softening old antipathies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After the wedding, however, unconscious memories resurface and conflicts appear - signs of the spiritual work to be done. These are challenging but redemptive marriages.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3. Sacrificial weddings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They occur when an enlightened spirit voluntarily joins another less evolved spirit in order to help them on their journey. It is a sublime gesture of love, renunciation and compassion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The more evolved soul returns to the side of the one they love to help them out of the moral shadows. It's a union that requires extreme self-giving. It is love transformed into selfless service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4. Related weddings<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are unions of spirits who have already achieved moral and emotional affinity. There is natural harmony, maturity, respect and deep friendship. These marriages consolidate affections already developed in other existences. Because they are balanced relationships, they are rarer on Earth, but they represent happy and stable unions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>5. Transcendent Marriages<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are reunions of highly evolved spirits who come together to carry out elevated missions, with spiritual purposes of collective reach. It is love in its purest and most selfless expression, which transcends material life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They are very rare, as they require a high level of spiritual maturity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The spiritual journey of every marriage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>During our evolution, we all go through different types of union: we begin with accidental encounters, we progress to trial unions, we grow in sacrificial marriages, we reach higher affinities and one day we will experience transcendent unions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thus, marriage - in any of its forms - is a school of the soul, where love matures and spirits meet again to evolve together.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Doutrina Esp\u00edrita compreende o casamento como uma oportunidade sagrada de evolu\u00e7\u00e3o moral.
