● Gen 2:24 . . A man shall leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave
unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
The Hebrew words for "leave" and "cleave" are a bit ambiguous; but in this
case, I'm pretty sure they're saying that when a man marries; loyalty to his
parents becomes secondary to his wife.
One day, just for the fun of it, my dad asked his third wife what she would
do in the event that he and her mother were drowning and it was possible to
save only one. Which would she save; him or her mother?
Dad's wife responded that she'd save her mom because you can always get
another husband but you can't get another mother.
Now supposing Dad's wife had questioned him in return. Would he save her
or save his mother?
Well; according to Gen 2:24, Dad would be required to save his wife.
