Bzutu: “Greeting.  It is I, Bzutu, to cover part of the enquiry regarding arranged marriages and divorce.  During the times of the Adamite and Andite migrations into Europe and Asia there were wiser elders, simpler lives to be led, and generally a better choice of spouses to be selected by these elders.  In modern times such parental and guardian choices for who will marry whom are tending to be less successful.  You may conclude that convenience from the point of view of the elders, rather than envisaged marital bliss for their offspring, is frequently considered paramount.

“There are records of the not-yet-born having been promised in marriage austensibly to keep certain genetic lines alive.  In this male-dominated society they were the patriarchs who took it upon themselves to make these choices.  The divorce rate in the western world, however, does not convince anyone that you now have a better system of selection.  Over to your Teacher now…”

Samuel: “A comparison between your world here and now, and my world in my time, would hardly rate as fair.  Consider the following among many differences, between us Panoptians, and you Urantians: We have greatly longer life-spans on our planet, greater Adamic input, a single, planet-wide form of worship, and we are a single race, not many races as on your world.

“Here now I’ve come to the point of considering the plight of more than a few of you, and answering the questions posed.  So often on your world, the partner in your life is very much represented by the luck of the draw.  Relative to natives of Panoptia, you have but a short window in time to prepare for life, have your family, and provide for their well being.  Even so, spirituality is your main reason for being, and for the partner finding himself, or herself, left behind, there needs to be understanding that something of importance is happening.

“Only when all soul searching, and mediation proves to be in vain, should a parting of the ways be considered, for marriage is not a sacrement, no, but it is a contract of the first order nevertheless.  Thank you for your time.  This is Samuel.”
