No one said that.

But you sure weren't very nice to the woman who pointed out that this "we are pregnant" stuff is nonsense. Saying that, apparently, means that you don't appreciate your husband's sacrifices!

It's not nonsense. Things that effect an entire family by definition affect an entire family.

A decent man's lifestyle changes significantly when his wife is pregnant.

Your obsessive literalism ignores this fact.

If something happens to my wife it happens to me. If someone insults my wife, I take it as a personal insult - he insulted us.

He may not have literally said it to me - I don't much care.

If my wife is overjoyed by something - like her mother's remission from cancer - I am overjoyed too.

Our experiences are not separable.

When Christ said that man and wife are "become one flesh" He did not mean that the bodies of husband and wife oozed into an indistinguishable mass.

But He did mean that they were one.

Would you say to Him "What is this 'one flesh' nonsense?"

It's sense.
