About this Quote

In this quote, Charles Eastman is explaining the cultural beliefs and practices surrounding marital relationship in his community. He explains that there was no specific religious ceremony associated with marital relationship, unlike in other cultures. However, the relationship between a male and a female was still seen as something sacred and unique. It was thought about mystical, possibly since of the deep emotional and physical connection in between the 2 individuals. This view of marital relationship highlights the value and reverence placed on the bond in between a man and a woman in Eastman's community. It also suggests that their understanding of marriage was rooted in a spiritual and mystical perspective rather than a purely legal or social one.
