The Oneness of a Husband and Wife


At one point in Jesus’ ministry he was asked by a Pharisee whether it was lawful for a man to divorce his wife or not. In Jesus’ reply he stated, when a man and woman are united by marriage, the two will become one flesh. He then went on to say, “Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.” Matthew 19:6 A husband and wife are considered one; they should act as one in every way. In joy, sorrow, happiness, in their decisions, every aspect of their lives should be joined together. Because of this “oneness” they should not only be husband and wife but also best friends. If a friendship, the most important one you should have with the exception of Christ, is lacking there is a higher chance of friction and hurt feelings. Those two things would not accomplish a unity in the marriage. I’m so blessed and thankful for my best friend and husband! God has joined us together as one and it is my desire to keep seeking His guidance for becoming a more godly, selfless, loving wife. My husband is so thoughtful, caring and loving; he deserves my best and more!
