"Broken Together"

I just discovered this video and song by Casting Crowns.  I remember once having a discussion in college led by a philosophy professor, about what must be an age-old question.  When people come together in a relationship, what is happening?  Is it two halves completing each other as a whole?  Two wholes somehow coming together to make a new whole together? 

Or maybe, as this song suggests, is it something different, something more humbling, but yet something more real, and beautiful?  What a gift that God made marriage a sacrament -- so we can have the gift of His Grace to pour over us, and to fill in all those cracks!

As I listened to this song, all I could think was, "Yes, that is real life!"

As much as we may love our spouse, God is the only One Who can make us complete.  Ideally, in marriage, the journey toward that completeness is at least one we can make together.
