Dr. Stephen Phinney: When I met my lovely bride, I knew nothing about what marriage was and what it was for. All I knew was that I was “in love” with her. Ironically, I didn’t even understand that.
Deep stuff as always, Dr. Phinney. Sometimes, even though I have known Papa God and His Son for a long time, I feel so small, just scratching the surface. Having never been formally married, marriage is mysterious and very very difficult. I am such a loner and a solitary and I doubt if I am marriage material. I do, however, profoundly love God and His Son and am so overwhelmed by the love They show to me, with all my struggles. Mercy!! It is truly profound and amazing and keeps me going on the narrow path. Thank you, again, Dr. Phinney! Wendy
It’s an honor to provide deeper Life Truths for you and others. I admire single people, like Biblical Paul. I can see why Paul said it better to live celibate. It’s just you and Yeshua as your spouse. It keeps things simple. However, I wouldn't exchange my life with Jane for anything. It is like we are one person!
Dr. Phinney, thank you. You should enjoy your life with your dear Jane, as that is indeed the "one flesh" God spoke of , the union of husband and wife. I do some serving work in my church (cleaning once a week) and when I finish, I usually have a bit of time to myself before the Wednesday prayer and Discipleship group arrives. I wander over to the church library (shelves!). I found a very intense book on marriage, called "The Mystery of Marriage, as Iron sharpens Iron" by Mike Mason. Whoa, what a powerful book and in fact, it scares the heck out of me with the intensity of the core of union of husband and wife, the Bride of the church. Not sure if you are familiar with this book but very powerful. Anyway , I always humbly appreciate your writings, such depth and devotion. I have some more of my own writing coming soon, sorry for delays. Blessings to you, Wendy

I am not familiar with the book but will be. LOL. Thanks for the relentless encouragement.
Yes, that's me, relentless!
Godspeed to you and Jane, dear Dr. Phinney . W. E. W.
