Eric Morgan-- Outside reading #4

Another book that I have read recently is a book written by C.S. Lewis titled Mere Christianity. This book was absolutely amazing, and has had a great role in shaping my perspective on life. The main thought that I took out of this book that I apply often was, his perspective on marraige. In the book he talks about how when a couple gets married their souls are united and therefore become one being that's purpose should be to glorify God in everything that they do through their lives. Marraige is something that I can see now as just another gift that God has given us to further show his love. We were made to be in relationships with other people and this specific relationship is the best possible one that a human can have with another human and it a complete gift from God because he connects the two people through a spiritual bond rather then just their interaction. The hardest part about applying this perspective is that I am only in the dating realm of relationships and have not yet gotten married so when I try to apply that philosophy to my life it is very different to what I am actually expiriencing. This book had many other thoughts then marraige but right now in my life I have a girl friend and am in a leadership position with her in which I try my best not to screw so much of my focus is directed towards that.
