I fight for me.

Phil...you are seperate from her
the pressure of being one with someone is tremendous

Marriage is not becoming one with someone
it is joining WITH someone

two complete people coming together to add to each other's lives

I know that feeling...like a part of you has been ripped away and there is a gaping open wound where soemthing used to be

the feeling that you are incomplete

We NEED to be a complete person on our own. Honestly...how can we add to someone's life if we are incomplete? If we look to them to make us complete then we are taking constantly and it tips the balance of our relationship.

Does that make sense?

You need to feel complete on your own
your wife needs to be complete on her own

then there can be give and take
instead of constant giving or taking

Your soul is yours Phil
she can only kill it if you let her

No one can kill your soul without you giving them permission

be whole unto yourself Phil
your soul belongs to you and God

she can not destroy what she has not built
