Genesis says, "Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh." (Genesis 2:24 ESV)
I never understood that. I had heard many mavens of marriage say that their relationship "became sweeter" and that "they were closer than ever," but that has never resonated more loudly with me than it has in recent times. I always loved Eric, but I find myself even more in love. I am totally comfortable with him because he knows all of my deep dark secrets and he hasn't run screaming into the night. Conversely, I know all of his baggage and instead of walking away, I help him bear it and unpack it. We have been to the mountain top (literally and figuratively;)), and we have touched the depths of the ocean together. It hasn't always been easy, but with God to guide us, we have come to a place where we are content.
I hope this doesn't sound like Facebook psychology because it really comes from my heart when I say that we truly are becoming one. God really does have a plan, and it is good.
