I love the way Pastor Tony Evans described the unity of marriage: ‘When Adam woke up, all of him was not there. A rib was missing. And when Eve woke up, all of her was not brand-new, because she had something that once belonged to Adam. So what God did in marriage was give Adam back what he had lost and gave Eve the rest of what she needed.’
