Rilke saw the isolation of individuals as having beneficial aspects by providing privacy for everyone.
A good marriage is one in which each partner appoints the other to be guardian of his solitude and thus they show each other the greatest possible trust. A merging of two people is an impossibility, and where it seems to exist, it is a hemming-in, a mutual consent that robs one party or both parties of their fullest freedom and development. But once the realization is accepted that even between the closest of people infinite distances exist, a marvelous living side-by-side can grow up for them, which gives them the possibility of always seeing each other as a whole before an immense sky.
