Excerpt from The Ministry of a Wife: Marriage is Ministry Published '02

THEY SHALL BE ONE FLESH

There is a mystical moment when a man and a woman make love to one another in the presence of God that they perceive that in this physical realm they can never be close enough. The two lock together in a heated fix of like passion while longing to be one in every way possible. He desires to be as far inside of her as he can imagine, while she waits for his arrival to that place of oneness so that he can make a deposit and so that they can share a supernatural experience. His love for her inspires his every vigorous stride to make an intimate and spiritual connection that can’t be made in the natural sense. His passion drives him to continue a more aggressive pursuit for that very indescribable moment that the both of them soon share. She responds to his every gentle thrust with acceptance, patience, vision and expectation—and with God in the midst, what could have been an ordinary experience now becomes an extraordinary one.
Thoughts run rampant of their appreciation and thanksgiving to God for the blessing of love that is miraculously communicated to their spirit while engaging in that very precious act of intercourse. The experience is so powerful, so illuminating, and so breathtaking that one can’t help but cry out to one’s Maker. She desperately tries to communicate with words how she adores her husband by calling out his name. Other than his name or Jesus’ name, there are no words to describe or explain the depth of her heart, so she solely relies on the presence of God and her willingness to yield every part of her being—to reveal the pages of her heart. So what does one do? Speak in the spirit, of course, in attempt to utter those indescribable words that can only be spoken by the spirit.
He looks into her eyes and embraces her with a stare that seems to suggest that he has received the interpretation and that she belongs to him. The experience is sealed with a burst of tears and a sense of knowing that you have been completely understood. With every encounter, the Holy Spirit strengthens the love that is shared, forming a three fold cord that cannot be easily broken. The two begin to reflect upon their unique experience with God and they will never, be the same, again.
