The Magnificence of Marriage
Healthy Marriages are the Foundation of Healthy Homes
“Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.”— Genesis 2:24
1. Leave
“Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother…
— Genesis 2:24
We must leave our parents.
Your spouse is your new priority.
We must leave our past.
2. Cleave
“Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife
— Genesis 2:24
Marriage is not contractual; it’s covenantal.
“‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.’ This mystery is profound, and I am saying that it refers to Christ and the church.”
— Ephesians 5:31–32
3. Become “One-flesh.”
“Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.”
— Genesis 2:24
Marriage Belongs to God
“For God knows that when you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil.”
— Genesis 3:5
When leaving becomes an issue, stress becomes the norm.
If we don’t cleave to each other, we will cleave to something (or someone).
If you want a healthy marriage, you must have healthy hearts.
“And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.”
— Ezekiel 36:26
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold the new has come. All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation…”
— 2 Corinthians 5:17-18
“Truly, truly, I say to you, unless one is born again he cannot see the kingdom of God…”
— John 3:3
