When praying for more peace and love between husband and wife, it’s important to remember that there are not two of you–husband vs. wife, unthoughtful person vs. thoughtful person. There is one of you!
Marriage is all about oneness. There are no longer two, but one. One of you: husband/wife, male/female…both as one, not as two. It’s a single unit that does not have two separate minds trying to get along, but reflects the singularity of Mind in its expression of love, understanding, wholeness and unity of action.
There are not two of you. There is one of You.
But in saying this, it needs to be clear that it is not at all in an Adam & Eve sense…. Lots of people think they are one – two halves – made one in marriage and that is definitely not a good belief.
Thanks Evan
Very timely!
Thanks Evan
TRUTH is so beautiful. Thank you, Evan. Wonderful.
I can’t tell you how much I love and appreciate reading your posts daily. It’s what I look forward to seeing appear in my inbox.
I’ve never married, as I saw it as two. I have a deeper understanding of Spirit now. What you wrote here resonates. Now I can see being married. Spirit has always been more important to me, but this, too, is the reflection of Spirit. Thank you.
The sentence that reads “there are no longer two, but one” is really throwing me for a loop. Are you saying that a human marriage agreement actually turns two individuals into a single individuality so that the single unit replaces the individual expressions that existed before the marriage? Or do you mean that, as we are all truly one in Christ, all expressions and reflections of the one Mind, so we can understand that two individuals in a marriage are also embraced in that oneness? Can we, in the same vein, say: there are not seven billion of us; there is one of Us? Or is that something different?
This is very thought-provoking. I have never thought of it in this way!! It is a wonderful idea! Thank you very much for this new insight in our unity with one another and with our one and only Father-Mother-Mind!
One in spirit, one in love, one in understanding…
It only feels hard to understand if you think individuality is a physical body with a mind of its one, an ego of its own. But when you understand there is one Ego, one Mind, expressed in infinite ways, it makes more sense. The more we worship and serve the one God of Love, rather than the little ego of mortal mind, the easier it is to meld and blend humanly as one. Yet, we still retain our individuality. But there is no conflict with another’s individuality! That is a key to success in marriage.
Okay. I think I see – it’s kind of like Jesus and God, one in quality, but not in quantity, yes? So, then, could this truth be the key to success not only in marriage but in every other kind of joint human endeavor?
I try to recognize and remember that God is the husband, God is the wife, when thinking about marriage.
