Our second type of marriage is a "committed" or "sacred" marriage. It is only
in this type of marriage that couples are permitted to have children and
apply to bring a new soul into the community. After a couple has been
involved in a "bonded" marriage for several decades or a few hundred years,
they may decide that they have experienced each other long enough to know
with absolute certainty that their love for each other is flawless and longlasting.
They may then wish to make a lifetime commitment to each other.
Since we have become immortal, a lifetime commitment for us would
normally mean a very long time in our society, extending into thousands of
years. In a committed marriage there is no longer the option of dissolution of
the marriage, or what you term divorce. For this reason, a couple already in a
bonded marriage for a long time has to be very sure of their commitment to
each other before they choose to engage in what is considered a permanent
relationship. They stay together until such a time as one of them or both are
ready to move on to a higher realm of evolution or service. In this case, one or
both would leave Telos to go to the planet or new level of their choice. This
would happen only after a very long life together and after their original
family has matured to a few generations.
In this type of marriage, one, two or sometimes three children may be born.
The gestation period for the mother-to-be is 12 weeks only. Since the couple
has already lived together a very long time in a bonded marriage, they have
accomplished whatever they wanted to experience together as a couple. They
are now ready for the next step and have gained enough maturity and knowhow
to be accorded the privilege and honor of starting a family.
Only to our more mature and more evolved people
is the privilege of bringing forth children granted,
giving birth to noble and more advanced souls;
thus perpetuating an enlightened civilization.
In our society, we have no orphans, nor children who are abandoned or raised
with the difficulties a single parent has to face in your society. Our family life
is so carefully and wisely planned that our children never have to suffer such
traumas as being unwanted, neglected or abused. We have no children
struggling to raise children. Each child is considered a precious gift from God,
loved and honored not only by the parents, but also by the whole of our
community. Our civilization is fully aware of the sacredness of the role of
