Genesis 2:24 Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and cleaves to his wife, and they become one flesh.
When two people come together in a sexual union they become, as the Bible, so aptly puts it, “One Flesh”.
They become one flesh, one mind, one heart whether they acknowledge it or realize it, this is what happens. It is like clasping your hands together and pulling them apart only your hands are coated with paint or something. Perhaps, to make the point clear, you have a different color paint on each hand. You clasp them together to imitate the sexual union of a man and a woman then you pull them apart. The First thing you notice is that it is hard to uncouple them. The second thing you notice is that there is a little different color paint on each hand. Carrying that analogy further, if the hands were people, when they come together they become “one” on every level of life and when they pull apart they become “fragmented”. If someone goes from one sexually intimate relationship to another they keep up the fragmentation process until they almost can’t think straight anymore.
Their ability to make clear decisions is compromised, because they are fragmented in mind, heart & soul!
We can see that much of this thinking is a result of the, so called, “sexual revolution”.
[The brute fact of life that the sex revolutionaries completely lost sight of is that sex creates in us an instinct to bond emotionally as well as physically with the person we have sex with and if we suppress this instinct it can only be at huge cost to ourselves. CERC]
Does this make sense?
They can not make clear decisions about their life…
While in God’s perfect plan, a man and a woman become ‘one flesh’ in the Sacrament of Marriage, unity becomes a blessing. The coupling of husband and wife is a healing process that is meant to bring about the best qualities in both spouses. As the two become one flesh they should supplement and compliment one another. Making the union a blessing to all they come in contact with. The union is a way to accomplish more together then either spouse could accomplish alone, the first that comes to mind - the creation with God’s Grace of children… children are why sex exists in the first place. Amazingly, we have forgotten this. The only reason human beings consist of a male and a female is because we reproduce sexually, not asexually… more
For another good article on this subject.

I’ll take your mixing colors analogy a little further if you dont mind ( in jest of course).
1st) some colors are just NOT meant to be mixed
2nd) you talk about the wrongness of comtijnually mixing colors and you are right. as any child soon learns constant mixing of various colors results in a disgustingly drab looking green/brown blah!….
3rd) you MUST BE CAREFUL in mixing certain colors lest they end up a “RAINBOW”, something your church seriously frowns on ( look up meaning of rainbow color if you dony get it, http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=fag+flag)
4th) but most important, sampling many different color combinations is very important if not necessary otherwise Baskin Robbins wouldnt make 31 flavors!!!!!! and cars wouldnt come in umpteen colors.
ok so i said i’d keep my replies serious, well i cant always; its just not my style.
On the serious side i did kinda like it, which is hard for me cause i dont agree with the main point but for those who do i think you did a good job af getting your point across.
I WOULD however ;like to see you follow up on this with a blog about divorce and annulment. i think it would fit well after this. my personal feeling is that divorce is WAayyy too easy today, and annulment is NOTHING more than the catholic churches way of making yet more $$$$.
The only thing higher than the divorce rate among catholics in this country is the rate of contraception use by them. As hard as the catholic church drives its point on contraception, thats how hard i’d like to see them crack down on Divorce.

Thank you for the compliment “court jester”. That must have hurt! Particularly so, because you do not agree with the “main point” as you put it.

Please do consider my followup suggestions about divorce and annulment. they would be an appropriate “next” column
