Bible Verse of The Day – 7-29-24

Mark 10:7-8 (NKJV) 7 ‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, 8 and the two shall become one flesh’; so then they are no longer two, but one flesh.

And the two shall become one.

This is a profound statement.

Most people fail to understand it at its deepest levels.

And I have found a frustrating lack of study references that sufficiently explain this God-ordained phenomenon.

Most of these references focus solely on the sanctity of the marriage vows, and the divorce aspects of marriage.

So, I will attempt to put words down on paper that will help bring understanding to this incredible topic that will do it justice.

Over the last few months, I have been pondering frequently on two people becoming one. I am beginning to understand it in its fullness, in ways that I previously failed to grasp.

Pastor Ellie and I have been married for more than 42 years now. We met while still teenagers and have been together since then.

We have become more one than two.

A married couple becoming one is about more than just sexual intimacy. It goes much deeper than that.

As two individuals commit their lives to each other, learn about each other, grow closer, and understand each other more fully, they become more united and less divided.

They begin to act more in unity. They are slowly becoming one.

This happens over time. It takes time and a deliberate effort on both parts.

And this “becoming one” process is not without its bumps in the road.

Let’s talk about this more tomorrow.
