Most conservative scholars credit Moses for writing the first five books of the Old Testament. In the above passage from Genesis 2:24-25, Moses both narrates and instructs:
Adam and Eve did not have parents to leave, but they were naked and unashamed.
Marriages would be a lot easier if neither spouse had any ancestral baggage to bring into the marriage — and it would be a piece of cake if neither had sinned.The following points reveal three essential criteria for a successful marriage:
1. First, both the husband and wife need to leave Mom and Dad — physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually and financially. However, they are still commanded to honor their parents.
2. Second, they need to bond together in such a way that they become one.
3. Third, they need to have no unresolved issues between themselves and God so that intimacy and transparency are the norm for their relationship.
