Me and We

“Have ye not read, that he which made them at the beginning made them male and female,And said, For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife: and they twain shall be one flesh? Wherefore they are no more twain, but one flesh. What therefore God hath joined together, let not man put asunder.”
When God created the heavens and the earth, He did so with purpose. However, unlike the stars, the seas, or the animals, He created one thing with which he endowed the power to defy His purpose---Man.

Man is a living soul which carries the breath of God in his genes. Man is capable of love in its truest sense; love freely given. Making Man capable of such love meant he would also be capable of denying it or worse yet, pointing it toward himself. The decision to make Man in His image has cost God dearly and there have been times when He was sorry he made it.

Divorce is a story as old as the Garden. It is the story of Man exchanging “we” for “me.” If in paradise a person was willing to choose himself over God, why should it surprise anyone that the practice continues? Marriage is not a tradition. It is the plan of God for a selfless union between man and woman.

If we see a great many divorces, it is not that the notion of marriage has changed. It is nothing less than of the elevation of “me” into self worship. Self adulation and self satisfaction is the first commandment of the god of this world. Man loves to worship at his altar and there is no room for two.

Do not fret husbands and wives, it is not that your partner loves you less. It is that they love themselves more. “Me” is king to whom “we” must bow and die.
