Study Notes
The Husband and Wife Relationship
- The husband and wife relationship is a higher priority than the parent-child relationship.
- As children grow older, they should leave their parents' home and be graduated out of the home.
- The husband and wife should cleave to one another, which means to be welded together or glued together in a commitment that exceeds any other human relationship.
The Marital Relationship as a Covenant
- The marital relationship is referred to as a covenant in Proverbs 2:17 and Malachi 2:14.
- A covenant is a sacred commitment that is not easily broken.
- The husband and wife relationship should be superglued together, and pulling it apart would be very painful.
The Basis of the Relationship
- The basis of the relationship is not primarily an emotional or romantic relationship.
- The basis is being welded together through a sacred promise made before God.
- The commitment is considered unbreakable, and nothing on earth should break it.
One Flesh
- The phrase "one flesh" means more than just a physical relationship in marriage.
- It includes a planning for a lifetime together, rather than planning for contingency in case of divorce.
Reasons for Divorce
