"When couples unite as one, sons and daughters will become one and unified. Does harmony come first or does unification? Harmony comes first. Once harmony is established, roots will grow and a bud will come out. Before unification it splits and after it splits unification is completed. After that there will be no splitting. Only unification will exist so peace, happiness and love is there together."
