The Two Become One Flesh In Marriage

One Flesh 

"Wherefore they are no more twaine ,but one flesh ,what therefore God hath joined together ,let not man put asunder ." Matthew 19:6 

God created the man and the woman  as one flesh and that must be settled in our mind, if we must marry according to God's original design of marriage . It must be accepted that  through marriage the man and his wife are one flesh and not two . " And  said ,for this caused  shall a man leave father and mother and shall cleave to his wife : and they shall be one flesh ,? " Matthew 19:5 

Being one flesh means. they are one in soul ,one in flesh and one in bones . That is why Adam called his wife woman ."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 the man ." Genesis 2: 23  They have to live together in one room ,and all the time under one roof . 

There are some marriages  that end up on the rocks of divorce ,because. there is no oneness  in their life style .They live in separate homes or rooms ,at times in separate countries . And as a result extramarital affairs becomes their lot , either  one or both of them begin to indulge in adultery.Marriage couples should not be separated for long unless is absolutely necessary.

They must stay together in the same house ,in the same room and most importantly sleep on the same bed .Their decision must be cohesive so as to bring oneness that will forever adhere the two in one flesh . Marriage brings together two people that have one soul ,that is why  your husband or wife is also described as soulmate . The marriage couple must operate as one flesh ,having the same opinion ,same views ,same vision ,same desires and most importantly the same religious faith .

"Nevertheless neither is the man without the woman ,neither the the woman without the man ,in the Lord . " 1 Corinthians 11:11 This means they are one  in the Lord ,that is why they are perfectly called Mr.  and Mrs. .Their flesh is also cooperatively owned ." The wife  hath not power of her own body ,but the husband  : and likewise also  the husband also hath not power of his own body ,but the wife ." 1 Corinthians 7:4

The two must accept that they are a corporate entity and not individuals . That is the only way they can function as marriage couple for the longevity of their marriage ..They mostly pray together ,eat together ,travel together ,plan together ,walk together and most importantly worship together in the same church .
