“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).
“Stick like glue.” That’s how our TWG study writer defines “cleave.” Another descriptive word for cleave could be “bond.” Whatever the relationship, becoming one in Christ or having an intimate relationship with God, hold on tight so nothing can sever either or both relationships.
Our verse speaks of a marital relationship. As you pour yourself into the life of your spouse you will become as “one flesh.” From a spiritual perspective, we should empty out anything that could keep us from having an intimate relationship with God. We need a desire to draw so close to God we can almost hear His heart beat. We must make our special bonds “stick like glue.”
