This study looks at the principle of "leaving & cleaving". The main focus is on separation from the controlling influences of our respective parents. That isn't really a problem for us. Any such thing had been well dealt with and left behind.
More important for us is the "cleaving". Cleaving to each other. Becoming "one" in our life together. Not divided by differences. Not separated by influences from our past. Not caught in perpetual disagreement. But rather, choosing to come into agreement in the important things of life.
Unity is so important. We need this unity more than ever. Putting aside our own expectations and ideas in favour of finding unity in creating a common ground. Choosing to be in agreement instead of disagreement. Not one person saying "I'm right. You have to do it my way". Rather humility on both sides is necessary to have a healthy relationship.
This is what I am working on, trying hard to do. And will continue to do so. Because I love Liz and I am determined to make our marriage the best and strongest it can possibly be.
