The seasons of life…why marry another?

Each aspect and season of life is sensual and beautiful in its on way, a marriage or collaboration into being and becoming—can we live that out fully? Not just the lover metaphor or  initial stages (the attraction to the carnival of life), but the being in constant communion through all the season of life-the dying for one another when it is tougher and not as lovely.

Some seasons of life are sheer work together. The blazing of sharpening the inner heart’s furnace of faith. Others are ridiculously pleasurable. Either way. We must chose to continue as one…that’s the bond of becoming…

The Song of Solomon is meant to lead us towards the incarnation of Revelations, and laboring with, into, as one, the fullnesses of one another–the symphony of selves only possible in wedding.

 The Lover stage is easy. Attraction is simple. Sacrifice is harder.  The daily deaths necessary to become. The Laboring with, through seasons of life, stages and levels of sacrifice—more like Jesus; more like the One who originally attracted you. Why not go on into the fullness of His Glory…to become older together is the best art. The best wines have passed through many seasons of life.

Why do we stop at lover? Why not press on to partners in a garden which never ends?! Are we that timid before becoming? The maturation of our own souls and spirits. That intimidated by His calling to become the sons and daughters, the husbands and wives of His Own wedding banquet….
