![[#34] Genesis 2:24 – Leave and Cleave?](https://redeeminggod.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/genesis-2-24-leave-and-cleave-150x150.jpg)
What does Genesis 2:24 mean when it says that a man will leave his parents and cleave to his wife? Does this mean we should abandon our parents for the sake of our wife?
This is what we’re going to talk about in this study of Genesis 2:24.
The Text of Genesis 2:24
Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and be joined to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.
In this discussion of Genesis 2:24 we look at:
- Various Bible verses that have caused marital strife.
- How Genesis 2:24 may not mean what we think it means.
- How Genesis 2:24 follows Adam’s statement in Genesis 2:23.
- Why leaving parents doesn’t mean abandoning.
- Why it is important to cleave to your spouse.
