Leaving and Cleaving: Why is it so much more complicated than it seems?

This post is a little long but it's definitely worth the read.  It is written for a women's publication but is applicable to both women and men.  Engaged or "thinking about marriage" couples should definitely read this.

My favorite quote from the article:
"Leaving your family of origin doesn't mean turning your back on your parents, or blaming them for all your struggles, or forgetting everything you learned. Rather leaving, according to the Genesis 2:24 understanding of the term, entails fully transferring your loyalties from your family to your spouse."
