Marriage is one of the most beautiful phenomenon that any two beings can participate in. It is through this union of two that the semiotic takes form and unveils itself to be noticed. The union of marriage is similar to the usage of religion in today’s symbolic world. In fact, the two go hand in hand and adhere to the different semiotic needs of the individual. Religion attends to the semiotic needs of the self-consciousness. Having a God that will love, understand, and forgive you for each and every mistake or wrong that you commit is a protection that only religion can provide, a consistency that will never fail. Religion also provides a unity with a greater, more divine being, that union is created to r

These desires or the semiotic are essential to a healthy stable life, and to be totally engulfed into either the symbolic or the semiotic would be detrimental to a person’s health. Being totally indulged in the semiotic would render a person helpless, for they can not communicate to the world their inner cravings. Essentially this person would starve to death because they can’t explain hunger or wanting of nutrition to others, nor would they be able to learn to support themselves. Total semiotic beings cannot survive in the symbolic realm. Just as the semiotic can’t survive alone in the symbolic world, neither can the symbolic survive or exist without the semiotic. It is the semiotic that breaths life into the symbolic, and total submergence into the symbolic would create an effect equivalent to that of semiotic totality. Living solely through the symbolic and denying the semiotic urges of life is making life itself meaningless. The symbolic exists to give shape and material value to the semiotic. For example, in recent times people often refer to sex as a necessity, but they don’t understand the semiotic value of the act, and that it’s not sex that’s necessary but completion of the self. It is the semiotic that is trying to find a way to be expressed and the symbolic seems to be the route humans choose to express their sensations by.

Kristeva’s theory of semiotic and symbolic, allow me to see and examine why people chose to marry. It allows me to look further into the lusts for sex and sexuality, pleasure, and the wanting of another, physically and mentally. While opening up the true underlying world and giving meaning to the symbolic things that I have witnessed in life, Kristeva’s notion puts a feminine twist on to everything, in that wholeness begins and circles around the womb. There is also the question of homosexuality and whether or not they are in denial of the semiotic and thus living meaningless lives.

The rareness of this phenomenon is due to the promiscuity of people. We are no longer bonded to just one but many now, yet there is only one that can complete the whole for we do not begin life as small bits, but halves. We are halves because of the initial separation between the mother and child. However throu
