Arran and Alyssa got married! In this episode they reflect on their recent marriage and explore its deeper meaning through a psychological, philosophical, and archetypal lens. They discuss how true partnership involves both spiritual merging and individual differentiation, the role of shadow work and projection in relationships, and the symbolic creation of a “third thing” that emerges through committed union.
