One Flesh, One Soul

Subtitle: Depth of Marital Unity

Scripture:

“Therefore a man shall leave his father and mother and hold fast to his wife, and they shall become one flesh.” — Genesis 2:24 (ESV)

✨ Reflection

“Leaving” and “cleaving” speak to a profound reordering: your highest loyalty shifts to each other. Becoming one flesh isn’t a momentary feeling but an ongoing reality. Your joys, dreams, finances, even grievances, are woven together. True unity means celebrating victories together and shouldering shortcomings together as you grow into one soul under God.

🛠️ Application

•⁠ ⁠Discuss one area where you’re tempted to go it alone—and ask, “How can we face this together?”

•⁠ ⁠Commit to one act of daily closeness: a shared devotion, a hug, or a check-in text.

•⁠ ⁠Pray through Genesis 2:24 aloud and declare your commitment to cleave.

🙏 Prayer

Father, thank You for knitting our lives into one.

Help us to leave old loyalties that compete for our hearts and hold fast to each other in every moment.

Teach us the dance of unity, listening, forgiving, leaning into Your strength.

In Jesus’ name, Amen.
