Stronger Together.

We watched the production of "In the Beginning" at Sight and Sound Theatre a few days ago, and one realization became even more evident throughout the show, especially in Adam and Eve's pre-fall relationship. They were constantly singing and saying how much the other blessed them, complimented them and strengthened them. It was a beautiful picture of how marriage is meant to be, how it is designed to be. Uniting two people who are good apart, but stronger and better together, stronger for the glory of God.

I would really like to be married some day. And more than anything related to a certain status, look, job, background, qualification, or personality trait I desire to married to someone because we are better together. I want to marry someone who I can work with for God's glory. I have so many ideas of how that might look or play out, so it's difficult to surrender. I long for the purpose of that relationship and marriage to be for His glory. It's amazing to imagine the joy of living for His glory and bringing others closer to Him so that He may redeem, heal and move; bringing them closer to Him so that they may, one day, experience the intense and satisfying intimacy of a relationship with the greatest Lover of all time.
