“The LORD God said: "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a suitable partner for him." So the LORD God formed out of the ground various wild animals and various birds of the air, and he brought them to the man to see what he would call them; whatever the man called each of them would be its name.  The man gave names to all the cattle, all the birds of the air, and all wild animals; but none proved to be the suitable partner for the man. So the LORD God cast a deep sleep on the man, and while he was asleep, he took out one of his ribs and closed up its place with flesh. The LORD God then built up into a woman the rib that he had taken from the man. When he brought her to the man, the man said: "This one, at last, is bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; his one shall be called 'woman,' for out of 'her man’ this one has been taken." That is why a man leaves his father and mother and clings to his wife, and the two of them become one flesh.” -Genesis 2:18-24
 
In marriage, two become one flesh, but what if there is more than just that? At the moment of my crash, I went somewhere, had a conversation I still cannot remember, made a choice, and came back, all in the blink of an eye. At that moment, I knew deep within my soul that I would live.
 
Amy, my wife, was one of the first on the scene, and although everything she saw suggested I must be dead, she also knew deep in her soul that not only was I alive but that I would live.
 
When we stand before Our Lord and say our vows, we might take what happens to our body and soul for granted. On this side of the veil, He joins two as one flesh, but perhaps on the other side, He joins our souls, too. With their bodies and souls in union, husband and wife cling together on their journey back to the Creator.
