If you bought a camera without proper training on how to use it—and you completely disregarded the manual—you’d be foolish to get angry when you couldn’t operate it. It is just as foolish to try to operate a marriage without reading its proper manual, the Bible. Therefore, shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his
wife: and they shall be one flesh” (Genesis 2:24 kjv). Men, you are to leave your mother and father and cleave to the woman you marry. The result? You and your wife become one flesh. Marriage is when two separate, unique, and whole persons (one male, one female) make a covenant to exchange vows, committing themselves to remain together until death. When you continually place your parents’ opinions and views before your spouse’s, you are planting. seeds of destruction, and you will eat the fruit of divorce. The boundary that God has established for the one-flesh experience is the husband-and-wife relationship. Marriage enables us to enjoy sex to the fullest. Sex is a physical sign of a spiritual act— the giving of oneself completely to another and for another.
