one plus one equals one

I was reflecting on marriage today.  It's really an awesome thing that two separate people should endeavor to live in such intimacy.  It defies the rules of addition that one plus one could still result in one.  What a mystery...but this is a mystery that shows up in the Lord, too.  Father, Son and Holy Spirt are three and still one.  Wonder of wonders...though we are not God, we can experience "oneness" with Him.  But, back to the human level, we see the wonder of this mytery as husband and wife come together to form a child.  It is an awesome thing that God would permit us to have such an honored role in new life.  But it also profoundly reflects the miracle of marriage that the child is conceived when part of each combine to make one new person.  In the child we see the completion of two becoming one. 
 
Ephesians 5:30 For we are members of His body, of His flesh and of His bones. 31 "For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh." 32 This is a great mystery, but I speak concerning Christ and the church.
