God tells in the Bible that when we get married we are to become ONE FLESH. That we are to CLING AND LEAVE. The greatest man that walks the earth would be my husband. He takes both of the passages in the Bible to heart and uses them on a daily basis for our marriage. The problem lies in what the "extended" family feels.
After speaking with many friends and close family members they seem to think that these two passages are THE HARDEST to abide by. Especially the GUY friends of mine. Why is it that more men do not CLING AND LEAVE or feel they become ONE FLESH when they make the vow before Christ. I spoke with a girlfriend of mine, we were talking about all of this and she made me think of a great quote, "Blood is thicker than water" I have heard many people use it but i never PONDERED the meaning of it until yesterday. If a man EVER says to his wife BLOOD IS THICKER THAN WATER than i believe there are two ways to take it!
1. He is saying that because his WIFE is not his blood than he has to side with his TRUE BLOOD
2. He is trying to escape from that awful fight between his MOTHER and his WIFE.
To me this quote should be thrown out of the mix, because we are ALL God's children therefore we are all the same blood. When you become 1 FLESH with your spouse, ur blood becomes each others, just as your eyes, hands, feet, skin, heart, and Brain all mesh, so does your blood.
My husband's favorite thing to say to me is, "You may be wrong, and i will tell you if you are, but i will NEVER back up someone other than you, you are my wife and i stand beside you, behind you, before you, all at the same time. That is why God put me on this earth for you."
