Genesis 2:24 New International Version (NIV)
24 That is why a man leaves his father and mother and
is united to his wife, and they become one flesh.
We are different! God makes us male and female so we can be
complements of each other. Each is made in God's image. God's intention is that
a husband and wife find their primary human relationship with the other. They
still honor their parents, but their home is with each other. Their two lives
become one. In this context of lifetime security, they share in the intimate
knowledge of each other sexually — becoming "one flesh." This
relationship is to be enjoyed (Proverbs 5), protected (1 Thessalonians 4:3-8),
and celebrated (Song of Solomon) for life (Matthew 19:6).
Thought for today:
Am I mindful of my unions? (not just from a romantic/intimate point of context)
