Our One Flesh

"'Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.' So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate."
-Matthew 19:5b-6

God made us, male and female, for more than sex or mutual edification. He made us to glorify Him by becoming one. It is a great joy for us to be blessed with this unique and blessed unity that God gives especially within the context of holy matrimony. May He, in His loving-kindness, complete the work of knitting our child together, that we may bring the baby to the blessed and renewing waters for new life and regeneration in the death and resurrection of Christ!
