I believe the Lord is saying that the above vows will once again be honored in our days.

"This is a great mystery, but I'm speaking of Christ and His church."

We are bone of His bone, and flesh of His flesh. As a man cares for his own body, so also Christ cares for us. "For this cause" will a man leave and cleave, to show the nature of our relationship with Christ.

We care for our own bodies, and that's the way we are to care for our wives. And this is to show how Jesus cares for us, except, He does it a lot better!

What is love? I think love, Christian agapeo love, is the commitment to someone's wellbeing. The heartfelt and willful desire to care for others. Which is exactly what Jesus has for us.

Much love!

Nice guitar playing and the voice is nice and soothing. (Although I really couldn't make out what he was saying in the beginning.) Is this you? Please don't take this the wrong way or anything but that would help me to go to sleep at night because like I said, it was nice and soothing. :)
Yeah, that is me.
I need dentures. lol
When Adam first sees Eve, he says, "God, what is that?"
"It sorta looks like my reflection in the water...but better...I think?!"
God chuckles and Adam walks away, doing a jig.
I'm glad you like it.
I believe the calming effect is God's anointing.
Maybe you'd like to check out "Member Music," a thread of mine under Praise forum. :)

Okay, but I'm a little confused about the speaking parts, was that part of the intro?

This rebellious son left his father's house and went chasing the desires of youth.
He went as far as the precipice and seeing that the next step was beyond the point of no return, he reconsidered.
He returned to his father.
This is where I see America is at.

Properly grieving the loss of a loved one is crucial for resolution and moving on.

@Truman the Levite
But then you are emphasizing the breaking up and the parting at physical death of two who love each other and the pain for the one who remains behind.

In serving God, we are not to remain behind but to move always toward Him. Of course many people don't do that even while supposedly being Christians they are complaining and crying out... Where are you God?

Love/charity:

"He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love." I John 4:8

"Love suffers long and is kind; love does not envy; love does not parade itself, is not puffed up;
does not behave rudely, does not seek its own, is not provoked, thinks no evil;
does not rejoice in iniquity, but rejoices in the truth;
bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things." I Cor 13:4-7

So then to our God what we confess is where the glory belongs. To whom else?

My main thrust on this thread is the man-woman relationship gone bad, since that is what I've experienced.
I was living with my parents in 2004, when my mother passed away.
Until then, I'd never seen my dad cry...ever.
I was 45 at the time.
Thankfully, nine days later, my father passed away.
Unfortunately, I was the one who found him.
Four seeks later, while still grieving the loss of my parents, I had a rare reaction to an anti-nausea drug called, "Stemetil."
I was in a coma for four days. My heart stopped three times. Once for seven minutes.
As they were filling out my time of death, my heart started beating again.
Now you and the rest of Christianity Board are stuck with me, until, "Death do us part."
Wait a minute! It's a good thing I like you guys! Lol
P.S. You seem to be able to tolerate me...for the most part! :)

Until death or until one us moves away from Him instead of toward Him. If we never die as Jesus worded it, will we ever be apart?

Unfortunately as you have brought to our attention the pairing ups in the flesh don't work so well too often and the results can be very painful.

I can't leave Him, since it is no longer I that live, but Messiah that lives in me.
He works all things together for the good of those who love Him, and are called according to His purpose.
Like He told me back in 2004, "Everything's going to be okay."
