Overview

What unites marriage candidates is the solemn vow to leave all others, things, and comfortable customs and cleave only to this one (Genesis 2:24). In other words, marriage consists of two key ingredients: leaving and cleaving. This book is an attempt to make sense of that old recipe for homemade married love in practical ways. With personal experiences of love serving as background, Leavers & Cleavers aims to tease out a better understanding of biblical leaving and cleaving, empowering readers to joyfully leave and cleave for a lifetime.
