The Test of Marriage
A man and woman pass the Test of Marriage together. Both must have spent at least 24 hours online in the game. Unlike every other test, neither needs to pass the Initiation into Worship before undertaking this test.
At a ritual altar:
- One person should meditate first at the altar to clear it of any past interactions (these can interfere otherwise)
- The man places a medium diamond on the left focus.
- The woman places a medium diamond on the right focus.
- Five witnesses meditate on the altar.
Once married, each partner may access any buildings or property of his or her spouse.
In addition, each partner may log on as his or her spouse merely by selecting an option from the Utilities menu. (billing functions and password changing are disabled when you use a spouse login, so credit cards and passwords are safe)
There is no concept of divorce.
This is one of the easiest Tests to commit to, and the only Test that one can complete without becoming a Citizen. However, while this may be the easiest of any test to actually do ... it can be one of the most difficult in that you must first find someone you think you can trust ... and then find out if you were correct in placing your trust with this person.
