Leaving the Nest
"'That is why a man will leave his father and mother and be
joined to his wife.'"
-- Mark 10:7 (ERV)
KEY THOUGHT:
One of the key elements of marriage as God designed it is the transfer
of dependence from one's parents to one's marriage partner. In the vast
majority of cultures, it is assumed that the woman will leave her
parents to begin her new family with her husband. Jesus makes clear
that the man must leave his parents for his wife as well. They must
learn to rely on one another and not their parents. In their
differences as male and female, they must learn that the other
completes what is lacking as they serve each other and depend upon God.
TODAY'S PRAYER:
Father, I pray that I will live to see a deeper appreciation for your
plan for marriage in my culture. Until that day, I pray that those in
my family will embody your will in our marriage and family
relationships. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
