How can God Love us as Spouse?

Idealizations of human love run deeply within the human imagination.&nbsp; While contemporary romantics search longingly for their soulmates, the ancient Greeks spoke of seeking their other half.&nbsp; If human beings were made for intimate love, then it seems that human lovers must be two halves of one whole.&nbsp; Neither is fulfilled in themselves, but each needs the other for completeness.&nbsp; If we represent this model as an image, we might think of a circle (the whole) bisected right down the center creating the two lovers (the halves) united in love. &nbsp;But this image would suggest that any man and any woman are equally compatible marital choices to any other, because any two half circles of the same diameter could create a whole.&nbsp; Our experience with love, however, tells us otherwise. <a rel="payment" href="https://www.patreon.com/user?u=40503836&fan_landing=true">Support this podcast</a>
