Real Leaving and Cleaving
October 20, 2022
What does it really mean to leave behind your mother and father in a marriage? And how can this discussion identify potential issues before making a decision to marry? This is another "lightning round" so the exegesis and exposition isn't as thorough as I normally would, this is off the cuff so DYOR.
- The typical interpretation and application of leaving and cleaving
- Because it only references a man, is it only applicable to a man?
- The overlooked problem of not probing more deeply into a healthy separation
- The ideal solution to potential problems and why it's missing
24 tTherefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh. (Genesis 2:24)
He answered them, “And why do you break the commandment of God for the sake of your tradition? (Matthew 15:8)
3 Likewise, teach the older women to be reverent in the way they live, not to be slanderers or addicted to much wine, but to teach what is good. 4 Then they can urge the younger women to love their husbands and children, 5 to be self-controlled and pure, to be busy at home, to be kind, and to be subject to their husbands, so that no one will malign the word of God. (Titus 2:3-5)
