DARE: Is there a "leaving" issue you haven't been brave enough to conquer yet? Confess it to your spouse today, and resolve to make ti right. The oneness of your marriage is dependent upon it. Follow this with a commitment to your spouse and to God to make your marriage the top priority over every other human relationship.
Genesis 2:24 A man shall leave his father and his mother and be joined to his wife; and they shall become one flesh.
Today's lessons are really about simply leaving your old relationships, and becoming one with your spouse. Although it is tied into leaving your parents, and getting away from them, and it can really be with any relationship. Any tie you have with another person can stand in between you and your spouse. God knows that you can't be tied to two people. That is why He commands you to break away.
We don't have problems with our parents intruding in our lives. They let go, and let us live our life. I'm sure there are moments on both sides where we disagreed with how things were handled, but all in all we are all on the same page. They do their things and we do ours, and often all of us find time to visit with each other. The good thing is we all let go. The book says that sometimes this is one sided and either the parents want to hang on or the new couple, but this can't be done. God declared you to be one flesh with your spouse to allow you to:
-achieve oneness in your decisions
-achieve oneness in our priorities
-achieve oneness in your sexual affections
Achieving oneness in your marriage makes anything possible. This dare can really be about achieving that oneness with your spouse. Something I need to work on....
