Baby I will be your everything

Eh Shi Min if you read this, you MUST know that this is not personal lol.

So anyway, I was reading your blog and chanced (do you need to chance upon something that glaring?) upon an embedded youtube music video of "baby I will be your everything" by Boys like Girls.

Other than how it sounds so similar to "two is better than one" as well as hedley's "perfect".

I wonder who really thinks it's romantic to be someone's everything.

I for one, fear it. Been there, felt it, fearful forever.
But it's a good fear. It's not cowardice. I think it's like enlightenment.

Of course the secular world uses jargons like "giving space" and being "independent" to explain why we shouldn't be everything to our partners.
There is definitely truth in all of that, though it mostly feels like a scratching of the surface to me.

I see it all as just clever investment. To not put all your eggs in a basket which clearly... does not fit all the eggs. Why make one out to be everything when they are obviously nothing close? We even know that they aren't perfect from the start so... why even make them the world to you?

As christians, I think, this is a huge test. How do you:
1. become one flesh
2. surrender the ownership of your body to your partner.

while...
keeping christ as the only treasure?

At any rate, we just can't
1. Make our partner out to be the world to us
2. Try to make ourselves the world to our partner

Both seems equally wrong, the first forsaking God the second competing with God.
Sigh, need to think this through. No love until this is sorted out.

I'm not perfect but I keep trying.
