"When you zimzum, you are consciously deciding to give your energies first and foremost to one person. That's the power of the exclusive space — out of seven billion people on the planet, you first give yourself to just this one person in just this one way. You direct your love and will and energy to this one.

"Like a laser beam, when you direct and focus your energies, they intensify. And when the two of you direct and focus your energies on each other, you create an extraordinary energy field between you. It's the buzz, the crackle, the electricity that hums between you. When we describe the exclusive space, it's important to understand that this is not about the two of you endlessly gazing into each other's eyes. It's not ultimately about the two of you.

"As you intentionally take action for the well-being of this person you love, strengthening and protecting the exclusive space between you, something unexpected happens.

"Your love overflows.

"Your love and sacrifice and devotion take you not just beyond yourself, but beyond the two of you. The energy that is generated between you transcends the two of you. By first committing to just each other, you naturally create something that is bigger than you both.

"This is why marriage is good for the world. Love that overflows makes the world a better place. It's a gift — a beautiful, divine, sacred gift to the world."
