The passage in Genesis about Adam and Eve is about whole persons coming together. All of him being given to all of her. All of her being given to all of him…

The "naked and they felt no shame" part comes last in the story of Adam and Eve. It’s a celebration of all of the ways they’ve bonded. All of the ways their souls have mingled.

It’s easy to take off your clothes and have sex. People do it all the time. But opening up your soul to someone, letting them into your spirit

and thoughts

and fears

and future

and hopes

and dreams…

that is being naked.

This is why when people sleep together after they’ve just met, they’re raising the chances significantly that the relationship will not survive. Racing ahead of the progressions always costs something.

When there is no common mission, no shared task, no sense of bone of bone and flesh of flesh, no bonds that take years to develop, many end up moving from relationship to relationship, having sex but never really being naked.

Too much too fast rarely endures.

–from Sex God by Rob Bell
