Who Is Getting Married?

“‘For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh;’ so then they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate.”

Mark 10:7-9


Ponder This

Our spirit is that part of our nature that truly makes us in the image of God, for the Bible says God is Spirit (John 4:24). And with our spirit we have spiritual relationships. We know God through the spirit. The Bible says when we get saved, God’s Spirit bears witness with our spirit that we’re children of God (Romans 8:16). You are body, soul, and spirit. When your body is right, you’re healthy. When your soul is right, you’re happy. When your spirit is right, you’re holy. And God wants you to be healthy, happy, and holy. Now what does that have to do with marriage?

Well, you need to understand who’s getting married. A body, soul, and spirit is marrying another body, soul, and spirit. Here is what God is saying: They are no longer two but become one flesh. God’s math is one plus one equals one. But how are you to be one? You’re to be one physically, one psychologically, and one spiritually. There’s to be the union of your bodies because you are a body. There’s to be the union of your souls because you are a soul. And there’s to be the union of your spirit because you are a spirit.

  • Why is it important to understand ourselves as soul, spirit, and body?
  • Are there married couples you admire? How do they reflect oneness in their relationships?

Pray for the married couples you know to be strengthened in unity in body, soul, and spirit.
