Leaving and Cleaving

For this reason, a man shall leave his father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife...

We've all heard this before, those of us who grew up in the church and attended friends' weddings.

But does anyone ever stop to think about the actuality of Christian marriages nowadays?  Too often it is the woman who relocates to join the man, who gives up her career to support his and bear his children, and who relinquishes her last name--her family name--for his.

So who's really doing the leaving and cleaving here?

Just some food for thought =)
