* TWO OR ONE?



Two or One? --That is THE Marriage Question 


Sadly, many marriages represent two individuals operating independently of the other without any regard to physical, emotional or spiritual oneness. Couples resemble roommates instead of teammates. A united whole is God’s design as He announced in Genesis 2:24 “ . . . and they will become one flesh.”

  1. You're bold sister! :)
    Marriage sometimes leaves me feeling a little overwhelmed with the complexity of daily bringing these two lives together. And then I remember, God has so much promised if we surrender in unity! I think God has designed marriage to be a power house! And I am still learning what that really looks like. Thank you Hester! ~ Love from Maine, Amy :)

    1. Amy!

      Thank you for your comment today. You've made a good point when you share the importance of "surrender in unity." How important this is to better reflect Him through our marriages. :)

      God bless you, Hester ;)

  2. Hester,
    I agree with your insights. If only we would put as much work into the marriage as we do the preparations, marriages would thrive. The enemy does all he can to destroy what God has brought together. We must ever be on the lookout for his attempts to burn down our homes and families.
    Good posting!
