Oneness
One way to safeguard your marriage is to ask: Does this create oneness with my mate?
“The two shall become one flesh” Matthew 19:5
Shall become…I read that I think: Is there is a process of becoming one flesh.
In my own marriage I believe there has been a processes, one we’re still in. We’ve been intentional to ask: Does this create oneness? That intentionality has helped us filter out and include in activities in our life. (Oneness is not sameness….men and women are created different!)
Some of those areas we ask this question would include: work, ministry, hobbies, TV watching habits, vacation, extra-curricular activities, how we spend money, church involvement, raising our boys, and even what time we go to bed.
Using this question as a filter helps us figure out what is best for us and what are things we can set aside. We also have come to realize there are seasons where one thing may cause oneness and in a different season doing the complete opposite will cause oneness.
Praying for you and your mate to experience oneness today in a new and fresh way!
