Gen 2:24 "Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh."
Cleave-Unite, Be strongly attached
I am back again for week 2 of these devotions. I thank the Lord most of all, but I also thank you for your response to these devotions.
I know the first one might have been mild and lengthy, but now we are going to get a more convicting devotion. Here we go!
How many people are suppose to be included in a marriage? Is is 6, 8, or 15. The answer is, your never gonna guess it, but the answer is 3. God, Husband, and Wife. The Bible tells us to Leave mom and dad, and to Cleave to our wife, and they shall be one flesh.
Why are marriages declining and going the opposite direction that God had intended? It is because there is too much outside interference. You have everybody telling you what you need to do, and before you know it, you have a riff in your marriage.
Now don't get me wrong, I believe that you ought to "honor your mother and father", but now you two are the ones who need to work things out between yourselves. In the 19 years that we have been married, my in-laws have not once interfered in our marriage. They live right across the street too. Make the marriage work by being one flesh, one accord, one mind, and always working together.
Husbands, quite being a mamas boy and cleave (be close-be one) with your wife. Wives, do the same thing with your husbands. Be ONE-not 5, 6, or more.
