26 Cheryl,

“Sometimes I just wish that men would stop thinking that they know who women are and just take the time to ask women how they think instead of just assuming.”

LOL – every man should read “For Men Only” by Shaunti Feldhahn and Jeff Feldhahn (of course, every woman should read its counterpart – “For Women Only”)

Charis,
You seem to have some underlying issues with sex but I can’t quite put my finger on what you are getting at. I do know that neither Cheryl or Lin take the position that the “one flesh” union is only physical. We all know that sex within marriage is designed by God for purposes of not only being fruitful but also fostering “oneness” with all of it’s relational and emotional implications. It is in fact all of these non-procreative, non-physical realities which starkly contrast human sexual relations from those of the animals. Since Adam and Eve clearly had that kind of “bond” from the very beginning, and because God designed sex as both the ultimate expression of that bond and a primary contributor to it, it seems illogical to me to believe Adam and Eve could have become “one flesh” as scripture says they did as a matter of fact, without “normal marital relations” having been involved.
