Oneness . . .  

Two hearts
each . . .
a part of the other.
Having the same
different perspectives.
“Riddles” of two becoming one.
Same coin two sides.
The heart,
the storehouse of feeling.
Our future?
At one -
TOGETHER WE
have our plans, our focus.
Covering, protecting and
encouraging each other
to fulfil them!
The awesome outworking of
Our,
Unconditional - LOVE.

Reflection
The wonderful mystery of marriage, which happens between two people, is the difficulty of defining or explaining that two become one. I have never seen a mathematical equation representing this, but I am sure there is one out there!

Mk 10:8 - so that they are no longer two, but one flesh. This is the mystery of God and is outworked in a marriage. The individuality of each person is protected within the Love covenant as they both honor each other. 

Oneness is a state that happens in a marriage, in spite of the way the world focuses on individuality. Here, the oneness of a couple develops over time, becomes their own individuality and point of difference, and has its own identity.

Now that I have endeavoured to define this state, the other side of this is, your individuality needs to be retained so that you don’t get lost! I am not contradicting myself here, but I will explain it this way. 

People who complement each other and resonate together are individuals in their own rite. Because of many common aspects they have, they grow into their own identity while retaining their own individuality.

Their individuality is complete, yet they complement and complete each other. The personalities they individually have is where they can become lost. Strong personalities can drown the weaker one. 

When we try to define oneness, it poses many mysteries on one hand, but asks  questions at the same time. This question is, how can two become one? It is a riddle and is one of the wonderful mysteries of a marriage. 

The great future ahead, the plans they make, dreams they have and focus on the agreements made together, even in everyday conversations, is all about their heart-talk. Each of these conversations has an ongoing echo and resonance, both keep hearing as they talk.

For some couples, this can be very challenging if they want to retain their own individuality. I believe this oneness isn't something that is planned, it just evolves. When you look back in the future, you may wonder how it happened. The fruit of oneness is the beautiful togetherness it brings. The benefits of oneness cannot be defined in the way we would possibly like to have it defined.

Here is a question. Is there a formula for this? I don't believe that this can be written down as a formula. This, I believe, is a principle and that's what I'm discussing here.
