Even when we marry,...

Description

"Even when we marry, the elders reinforce the belief in the couple as a single, cooperating unit. Part of the wedding ceremony, the nyampak, for those never before married, teaches the couple about how they are to work in unison. The nyampak is a ritual which reinforces the concept of working in unison through the metaphor of physical movement (Nowak, 1987: 122)."
