Becoming One

[tsth]

Sorry, I didn't know where to ask this so I'm asking it here. Today in lunch we somehow got into the subject of marriage and the Word. I said "God created you and created someone perfect for you. Right now you're a half. You're not meant to be alone. You have another half out there and when you get married and have sex (should have probably worded it a bit different...) you become one whole. Just how he said it was meant to be... Then she asked me, "Is that in the bible" I said "yeah"."In fact I had it on my Myspace a while ago" . . . now the only problem is . . . I CAN'T FIND IT in the Bible. I KNOW it's there though, can any of you help me?

P.S.

I remember I first read about it in a Jesus Freak book by Dc Talk . . . I don't know if that helps at all.

Just as a side note, Paul himself stated that he was not moved to be married, and that not everyone will marry. In fact there will be those who are solely committed to being focused on Christ, and like Paul, do not want to have the added distraction of wife and families, but would rather have full devotion to ministry. (See 1 Cor. 7 for details in particular vs. 1, 7, 8, 32, 33)

In His Love,

So let me see if I get this right.

1. Marriage between husband and wife should be like the marriage of Christ to the Church.

2. When it talks about becoming one in the flesh, this is what I understand.

a.The people(church) should love and be loyal to Christ. Christ undoubtedly loved and was loyal to the Church.

a1. A wife should love and be loyal their husband, husband should love and be loyal to wife

3. You should be One in spirit. Have the same beliefs and morals. (Or did you mean soemthing else?)

Matthitjah:

"Yes, in the Spirit, I find that you were rather correct that God does have and does desire for us to have the right mate, the chosen mate that He has made us for. My wife and I were chosen for each other, we were indeed made for each other."

"This other person can never make you complete in the sense of Marriage yet it is God's Highest Good for you should it be His desire that you Marry"

Is there some type of scripture on this. I've always heard that God has the desire for you to have the right person, and I remember someone once saying that "God's Highest Good" for you to be married or have a wife and kids. But I can't find that in the bible.

Matthitjah:

"This other person can never make you complete in the sense of Marriage yet it is God's Highest Good for you should it be His desire that you Marry. I believe that what you spoke of was that relationship you saw in Christ. That He is indeed that half of us or rather the whole that we have been missing. He is the only One that can make us whole and we must be joined to Him in our death and subsequent Life. For our Marriages to be complete we must be found in Christ first then we will not rely on the other party to complete us. We will be complete and satisfaction will not come from our spouse yet she/he will be a Joy in the knowledge that God has indeed secured us."

1. Your spouse can never make you complete, because it is God who makes us complete.

2. For our marriages to be complete Christ and the Father must be our main focus, then us.

Please feel free to correct any of my mistakes and further explain anything. I need to learn these things correctly before I teach them to anyone else.

Grace to you,

Monny,

As to your first question, from the beginning God desired for us to have Godly offspring;
