And the Two Became One Flesh

High-Octane Marriage is all about living as one flesh, not two separate people living under the same roof.

Becoming one flesh illustrates an important spiritual reality. Just as a Christian becomes one with Christ when they are saved, a man and a woman become one with each other when they are married. They are committed to one another, they love one another and they communicate with each other as though they are one person, or at least that is how marriage is designed.

There are inherent disadvantages to living as two separate people under the same roof. Children soon catch on to the fact that there are his and her things, his and her bank accounts, his and her rules, the list never ends.

If children see that mom and dad are one, they know not to play one against the other.


Finances are among the top reasons for divorce. Keeping your finances together can help your marriage. If you and your spouse share bank accounts, you stay closer together in communication to keep track of spending, because you both have to monitor and be involved in the process.

The advantages to becoming one flesh are numerous. If you are looking for reasons, just think about why God wants us to think of our selves as one with Him, the insights are very revealing.
