A Marvelous Musical Marriage Metaphor


I have two primary passions: marriage and worship. The truth is I've been a worship leader and musician for much longer than I've been involved in marriage ministry, but I don't tend to touch on that here very often.

So when I found something on Facebook that brings music and marriage together, I just had to share it.

This video beautifully portrays the truth that, in marriage, two become one. Watch and be amazed.



Here are a few marriage lessons I can see:
  • Two can create something that one cannot hope to create alone.
  • Both parts are critical to the song's beauty and effectiveness. 
  • It's okay if, sometimes, one carries the song alone for a short time.
  • Staying in sync requires you to give as much attention to listening as to playing the song
  • Confidence and trust in one another is essential.
  • Sometimes you need to make room for one another.
What other lessons do you find in this marvelous metaphor?  Leave a comment

  1. Practice!
    Lot's of practice.
    They had to work hard on that in private for a long time –
    finger bumping into each other,
    overstepping,
    nuancing...

    Marriage too, takes lot's of practice
    - behind the scenes work –
    getting things wrong,
    slogging on any way…
    before you figure out
    how to be
    in concert
    with
    each other.

  3. Playfulness!

    Playfulness is such a wonderful addition
    to the composition
    of marriage.
