One
Why is it that the simple act of Dan just being here makes a huge difference to me? Even if he is out of sight, downstairs working out, or outside working on the van- I still notice a difference with him here. I love being in his presence, even if remotely so.
My theory is this: it makes a difference because Dan and I are one. The Bible tells us that when we become husband and wife, we become one. I know a lot of people think that refers only to the act of sexual intercourse, but I believe it goes much deeper than that.
Sex is just a small part of the whole meaning of becoming one. The intimacy involved in our day to day talking, relying on eachother, agreeing or arguing, making decisions, doing dishes, taking the garbage out, sleeping next to eachother, praying together, …every aspect of life together has a part in being one. When I am with Dan, I feel complete. When we are apart, I feel like I am missing a very important part of me.
This is being one. This is being married.
