“And the two shall become one
FLESH….”
God moves on to tell
us in the first few chapters of Genesis that the reason for a guy and gal have
to leave their Mom and Dad is marriage (Genesis 2:24). They leave so that they
can become one flesh; and the two becoming one flesh is much deeper than the
physical closeness of sex that some interpret it to mean. Instead, it is a
spiritual bond, one where two individuals become one that is personified in two
bodies. This one fact explains why divorce and losing a spouse is so
devastating—they lost a part of themselves, not just a person they knew. . . . what God has joined, let no man
separate.
When two people (a man
and a woman and only a man and a woman) become one flesh, something happens to
the one that has now been formed. Men become husbands, fathers, and providers.
While women transition into wives, mothers, helpmeets, and nurturers. Today,
contemplate why God created the two to become one and how their new oneness is
more balanced than their individuality.
