Am I stepping over a line
For a couple?
Purity Is sacred and
Personal.
The spirit and experience
On life's stage
Tell me that the intimacy
In marriage
Can be a key important
Earthly nod
To help us learn to be like
Heaven's God. 1.

In no task is it easier to
Be selfish.
Or so important to be
Unselfish
Can true love be taught by
This sharing.
Is that what chastity is
Real caring?
Perhaps I'm just to selfish
While praying
To understand what the spirit
Is saying.

To our own spouse we become:

Vulnerable - - - Understanding
Understood - - - Forgiving
Obedient - - - - - - Sharing

Intimate - - - - - - Listening
Patient - - - - - - - Accepting
Submissive - - - - Helping

Open - = - - - - - - Planning
Kind - - - - - - - - - Serving
Sorry - - - - - - - - - Caring

Humorous - = - - Cooperating
Empathetic - - - Suffering
Happy - - - - - - - - Loving

Every possible emotion
Even negative ones
Interact in marriage.

Thus teaching us.
To deal with feelings
As Heavenly Gods do.

A marriage relationship
can teach love
The unselfish love shown by God
From above.
Intimate, demanding nothing,
When we're one
We are so close as godlike
We beckon;
No wonder chastity
Overcomes lust
Chastity expands and enhances
Unerring trust

Opposites, men and women,
Mars or venus
In a struggle to agree
Remind us
How far we've yet to go
In our quest
For oneness with Jesus
Searching best
For those godlike traits,
Reaching for
The attributes of
Our Savior

And Our Heavenly
Kind Parents

1. A man cannot be exalted singly and alone;

neither can a woman.
