Giving and Receiving

I heard someone say recently that in marriage counseling they often hear that the husband and wife, though not having a problem giving and receiving physically, are having a problem giving and receiving emotionally and spiritually.

This is a blatant falsehood!! This separates our bodies from our souls, which can never be. Husband and wife are NOT giving and receiving physically if they are not also giving and receiving emotionally and spiritually. If the souls are not in communion, then the bodies cannot be! The giving and receiving is reduced to taking and grasping. What a sad state of affairs! And the souls know this deep inside, and the resentment and wounds which inhibit the emotional and spiritual giving and receiving will only fester and grow from the dis-integration of body and soul.
