Marriage

Leave, Cleave and One Flesh

Understanding the Fundamental Concepts of Marriage

About this book

Rooted in Genesis 2:24 and echoing through Ephesians 5, this book unveils God’s timeless design for marriage — not as a human contract, but as a sacred covenant, mirroring Christ’s love for His church.

It explores three foundational pillars: leave past ties to forge a new primary allegiance; cleave with unwavering commitment; become one flesh, a unity of body, soul and spirit. Together, these principles, rooted in Scripture, counter modern distortions of marriage and offer a blueprint for a thriving union that glorifies God.

Whether you are newly married or a spouse with many years of experience, this book calls you to embrace marriage as a holy adventure, where leaving fosters independence, cleaving builds resilience, and oneness reflects divine harmony. In a world of fleeting vows, may your marriage proclaim the unfailing faithfulness of our Creator.
