I recently read an article that talked about the latest trend in the UK for married couples - meshing names. Basically when people cannot decide which name to take they combine fragments of both to come up with a new name.
The article talked about Michael Pugh and Rebecca Griffin, they meshed their names to come up with Puffin. Before you laugh, and I know you are laughing at the image of the cute little birds with the bright orange beek, think a moment about what this teaches.
I don't know about what this couple believes, but to me it really shows the value of what the Bible teaches about marriage. It is a cool picture of 2 people becoming one. They bring their identities together and are a new person.
It is a refreshing commitment to the sanctity of marriage and one that might just make commitment and fidelity the cool thing that it really is.
