The circumference of need.

I need you in my times of strength and in my weakness;
I need you when you hurt as much as when I hurt.
There is no longer the choice as to what we will share.
I didn't marry you out of need or to be needed.
We were not driven by instincts or emptiness;
We made a choice to love.
But i think something supernatural happens at the point of marriage (or maybe it's actually natural).
A husband comes into existence; so does a wife.
He is a whole man before and after, but at a point in time he becomes a man who also is a husband;
That is- a man who needs his wife.
She is a whole woman before and after.
But from now on she needs him.
She is herself but also part of a new unit.
Could it be that God really does something special at "I do"?
Your despair is mine even if you don't tell me about it.
But when you do tell, the sharing is easier for me.
And you also can then share from my strength in that weakness.
