1 | Joined at the... Rib: Unity of Marriage | Gen 2:24 | Lionstrong | 19412 | ||
Joined at the… Rib: The unity of Man and Wife God “reckons” (a concept borrowed from Rom. 4, KJV) the unity of man and wife to be the same as that of Adam and Eve, that is, physical. The first husband and wife were actually one flesh. God made Eve from Adam’s body, his flesh. He didn’t make her form another patch of “dust from the ground” (Gen. 2:7). So I think people are wrong when they say that the “one flesh” between husband and wife is the joining of them in the sexual union. A man and a woman in sexual union do become one flesh as Paul says (I Cor. 6:16). That, I do not deny. Here, however, a man when he is “joined to his wife,” that is, when a man and a woman are joined in marriage, God reckons them as becoming one flesh. They have this unity even before the consummation of their marriage, in contrast to the unity that occurs in the act of fornication. Peace, Lionstrong |

You're basically saying as soon as you say I Do, you are. :) Why was this a question, seemed like a perfectly good observation to me. :) | ||||||
