I have thoroughly enjoyed these posts. It ...Karen,<br />I have thoroughly enjoyed these posts. It is nice to see someone take the time to actually flesh out what Scripture says about our domestic relationships, and you're only in the beginning of Genesis! <br />Anyway, I thought you might enjoy a book called the 'Murmuring Deep' by Avivah Zornberg. Much of the book is focused on the psychology and spirituality of the figures in Scripture and the deep longing that drives them (and us). When she describes the passage, "Therefore a man leaves his father and his mother and clings to his wife, and they become one flesh." She describes it less in terms of an ideal and more in terms of what drives our relationships. Especially in light of the Biblical and historic Hebrew practice of the woman leaving the house of her parents for the man's as well as the subsequent stories in Torah of men finding their wives while on journeys, it seems she may have a point.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
