Loves involves sharing.

At marriage, two become one. That’s not modern math. It is a fact of faith.

“And the rib, which the Lord God had taken from man, made he a woman, and brought her unto the man. And Adam said, This is now bone of my bones, and flesh of my flesh: she shall be called Woman, because she was taken out of Man. Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh (Genesis 2:22-24 KJV).”

What’s his is hers and vice versa.

Legally, there is a term to match. I refer to community property. I protest; my husband Norm has carried this way too far.

His cold is my cold. I suffer with shared symptoms of the common cold. Grr!

Friends, Andy & Laurie, work together in a local husband-wife law firm. I’ll ask Andy if I can file an appeal foregoing distribution of shared property. 

Overruled?

 “For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and they two shall be one flesh. This is a great mystery: but I speak concerning Christ and the church. Nevertheless let every one of you in particular so love his wife even as himself; and the wife see that she reverence her husband (Ephesians 5:31-33 KJV).”

I decline a change of venue. Through submission to the Savior, I receive a change of heart.
