“This verse is perhaps the most important verse on the family in the Bible… Virtually all marriage and family problem can be traced back to a failure to leave one’s parents, cleave to one’s spouse, or became one flesh with one’s spouse.
When two people (man & women) leave their respective homes to establish a new home for Christ, they became a family before any children arrive. When children are added, Father & Mother become the heads of a new decision-making unit. This unit is not a democracy. The husband is the head of this unit and the wife is his helper. The two are one flesh.
As children are born, they are welcomed into the family, but not as part of the decision-making unit. In other words, they are not one flesh with the parents.” Lou Priolo-(The Heart of Anger)
