So I stumbled on to my book "before we say I do" which I must not have read before ;-) I found a feeling of importance inside me to thumb through and see if that book matches the thoughts in my head. If we could honestly answer these questions and know we ARE in fact compatible and have the same ideas as to what our image of a sacred marriage is. Do WE have what it takes together? Do we feel strongly that we can always over come issues and stick together NO MATTER WHAT!
It talks about "one flesh". Oh I like this part! I've known about this (I did read this book before its just hard to admit) I have always thought this is how marriage should be...."when two people become one flesh it ought to be difficult if not impossible for them to be seperated from one another".
Another quote..." when two people become one flesh no third party can intrude into that relationship".
It also says that one flesh is not only physical but takes place in moments of intimacy. I really like this chapter it applies to MY personal beliefs and feelings on marriage.
It talks about how important it is that your beliefs in faith be the same, and I do think that it is important to not be too far from one another on this. BUT.. this book came from a church so... I move on the other topics.
Do we agree on important topics about life... abortion, world peace, contributing to charities, and of course going to church. Have we talked about finances,drug addiction, family and of course church.
I'm still reading.....to be continued.
