What you sadly don’t understand is that that is obviously NOT literal. That is allegorical. Do you see a man and a wife as one? The idea is to unify in the marriage — support and agree with each other. That has nothing to do with the “TRInity”. The “TRI’ in TRInity means three.
When I coached , I told the young men to “play as one”. “One team , one heart”. We actually stomped out feet together in rhythm to symbolize one heart beat. That is all Jesus was saying about marriage. The literallists must live very very frustrated lives. Good luck, Wink wink.

Exactly, and the problem is we don't deny the "three" -- yet seemingly fail to realize that the very 4 letters of "nity" comes from uNITY !!!!

So, to you, the institution of marriage is no more unified than, say, your average Little League team!!!

(No wonder our nation, & marriage overall, has been in such trouble! Reductionism)

Again, no matter how you approach unity of marriage -- even if it's only "allegorical" to you -- guess what?

The average allegorical unified marriage is more "one" than the "allegorical" oneness of God you present here on this thread!!!

My spouse & I are more "one" than your god is!!!
