Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up! Also, if two lie down together, they will keep warm. But how can one keep warm alone? Though one may be overpowered, two can defend themselves. A cord of three strands is not quickly broken.
Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
As I mentioned yesterday, this past weekend we attended the wedding of our dear friends Erin and Jason. It filled me with so much happiness to see them so happy, joyful, and in love. These two are perfect together. The verse above mentioned that "two are better than one" and that is never more evident than in this case.
I did not know Jason long, about a year, before he started dating Erin, but many of our other friends did. Everyone remarks about the positive changes in Jason since he met Erin. He is so full of love, and joy. She gives him the confidence he needed. The same can be said of Jason's effect on Erin. Her lifelong friends have remarked how good it is to see Erin treated so well, and to be so happy. These two truly balance each other out.
Jason and Erin have supported each other over the past two years, not only through wedding planning, but through many things. They have truly strengthened each other, and along with God have formed a threefold cord that I truly believe will never be broken. My heart soars with happiness for these two.
And truly, two are better than one.
