Two as One

The candle flickers.
Soft music fills the room.
We lay silent, satisfied, sanctified as husband and wife.
I revel in the warmth, the security,
the sanctuary of marriage.
This is good.
The candle flickers.
Two hearts, two bodies bound together,
rest as one without shame.
God's blessing.

The Next Step has graciously agreed to let me repost this touching poem. After 23 years together, it’s obvious that her marriage is happily humming along!

It's time once again! Our Marriage Monday community will be meeting here next week on May 3, 2010. Communication is our subject this month—but not just any old kind of talk. Our general group writing topic on Monday will be "Talking Together about S*x."

Sounds interesting, doesn’t?

Last month, the votes were fairly evenly split between two titles. Since this is your meme, on Monday I’d like to give you the freedom choose between the following:

• Talking Turkey When You’re Feeling Like a Chicken
• Getting HOT: Why Wives Need Loving Conversation First

You’re the Marriage Expert

It's a fact that husbands deeply desire to please their wives s*xually. And as his helpmate, it’s our job to support him in being successful. They say the biggest s*x organ is the brain, so it’s important that we married Christian women use our God-given brains to effectively communicate our needs and wishes. Grab one of these titles, and teach us what you know about intimacy and communication.

Family Friendly

Remember, this isn't a school assignment, and there won’t be any grading. W00t! I know your writing will be a blessing to us. However, since Marriage Monday is a Christian public forum, may I remind you to keep your post “family-friendly.”

The wife's body does not belong to her alone but also to her husband. In the same way, the husband's body does not belong to him alone but also to his wife. (1 Cor 7:4 NIV)
