The Masculine and Feminine in Performance
when they work together in harmony they convey a much more powerful message. It is this understanding that sets up the masculine and feminine as complementary components of a harmonious performance rather than opponents on a battlefield.
My God-given spiritual education through my fiancées talent to dance taught me the importance of appreciating and being receptive to the talents of others especially if you do not possess that talent yourself. In my case, this is one way I learned to appreciate the nature of femininity and its relationship to masculinity. Since we are created in God's image, each human being thus has the capacity to experience and understand both the feminine and masculine dimensions.
God assigns each human being a biological form that specializes in giving an understanding of either the masculine or feminine. Men reflect the masculine and women the feminine. A man and woman come to an understanding of the feminine and masculine respectively in a true marriage.
It is a common cliché that people say to their beloved "you complete me." Theologically and physically speaking no one is part human being -but there is room for completion in ones understanding of him/herself. I have learned a lot about myself through my fiancée and she has learned a lot about herself through me. God made marriage for all of us to understand ourselves, the beauty of relationship, and also for us to reflect that beauty to others so they may know Him.

Loved this! As a dancer, I have to say you described the art and communication of dance perfectly. This also gives new meaning to why there is so much emphasis and excitement as a newly married couple shares a "first dance." Sounds like your fiancee has got you guys covered on that one :)
This is exactly what the new Catholic Dancer Ballet seeks to achieve for the New Evangelization! But Catholic ballet dancers are still sought as are other Catholics to help this to prominence to restore through the beauty of the Holy Spirit, a corrupted culture. Go now to www.TheDancerBallet.com
