I believe in pre-marital education. But the maturing process in a marriage doesn’t stop at the altar. In a renowned museum in Florence, Italy, there are four sculptures that are unfinished: a hand, part of a head, a torso, and a leg. The famed sculptor Michelangelo had intended these incomplete works to be used on the tomb of Pope Julius. But mid-way through the project he decided not to use them and ceased his work. Michelangelo called the fragmentary figures “captives,” reminding all of us of “incompleteness.” All of us share a need to be a whole person; to be complete. It’s important in marriage and family to understand that we enter marriage with baggage - experiences, even hang-ups, that we all have. A key to marriage is to seek to grow in personal wholeness rather than expecting another person to bear the impossible burden of making us whole. |
