marriage vs duty hexagram37.2

[lyra]

I am curious about how 37.2 relates in the context of a marriage question. For example, Does the person want to marry her? hex 37.2
at first glance it looks like a yes, because 37 signifies family. and the interpretations seem to talk about a woman, instead of a man, that this question refers to. Does it mean the man has a sense of duty, so he feels he should marry her, OR, does it mean that he will want her to tend to him (and family)?

9.2 speaks of a blockage and retreat. It seems to contradict 37.2. any thoughts appreciated

"Does the person want to marry her?" hex 37.2 > 9

Line 37.2 shows a person who is quite content with their life as it is, he is working, doing his duty, carrying on as normal, there is no change of status signified by this line. So, at the moment he does not want to marry her.

Hex 9 says that if he has an inclination to marry her it will certainly not happen for quite some time to come.

Where does line 9.2 come from, as it has nothing to do with your answer?

i read somewher that you look at the changing line of the relating hexagram as well? maybe i was wrong, because its confusing.

your interpretation is correct, how did you get that? the person is content with their work. but hex 37 speaks of family, how does family play into this? when i read the hexagram interpretation, it does not speak of work, but the person is very work-involved.
