Sharing

Jesus said,
"And the two will become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one"
Mark 10:8

While putting on my pajamas I realized that tonight is my last night alone in this apartment. When I come back, I'll share it with my husband. Those words seem so palpable, and at the same time not. They have such potential energy.

"The Christian idea of marriage is based on Christ's words that a man and wife are to be regarded as a single organism- for that is what the words 'one flesh' would be in modern English. And the Christians believe that when He said this He was not expressing a sentiment but stating a fact- just as one is stating a fact when one says that a lock and its key are one mechanism, or that a violin and a bow are one musical instrument."
Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis
