Today, I will explain in this article the real meaning of marriage from a bible verse.
In Genesis 2:24, "THIS IS WHY A MAN LEAVES HIS FATHER AND MOTHER AND BECOMES ATTACHED TO HIS WIFE, AND THEY BECOME ONE FLESH"
A Man...
Marriage is for a man who is matured enough to do his responsibility as a father. A man who could be able to keep long-term commitments. A man who possesses a spirit of humility. A man who prioritizes others before himself. A man who is fully matured.
A matured man who can stand alone on his own feet. A matured man who knows what he desires for life.
Leaves...
A man who leaves his parents and will become a father. A father who is willing to sacrifice for his family. A father who has capability to protect his family from any danger. A father who provides both materials and spiritual needs. A father who is disciplinarian. Lastly, a father who can maintain a healthy marriage.
In contrary, good father will not abandon his family. He will not escape his responsibility.
His father and mother...
A father and a mother who are the great models of complete family. A father and a mother who can guide their children. A father and a mother who can positively involve during the growth of their children.
Both parents who have time for their children to play, to train, to teach, the talk and to guide. Thus, making their children fully matured as they are.
And becomes attached...
A man becomes attached to a woman to build a new family. A family is where education starts. A family that builds love and affection. A family that creates culture and identity. A family that hones upright values and character. A family that prays together. And lastly, a family with God.
To his wife...
A man becomes attached to his wife. A wife who is beautiful in heart and soul. A wife who respects husband's decision. A wife who can turn a home into little heaven on earth. A wife who is expected to serve her husband, to prepare food for the family and to take care of her children.
And they become...
"And they become" is a process of learning, friendship and trust. They are willing to learn the crucial aspects of parenting. They're willing to accept and embrace each other's loopholes without a second thought. They're willing to forgive in times of failures. Lastly, they are willing to face together whatever awaits ahead in sickness and in health, for better or worst, till death do them part.
One flesh.
Two people are united and become one flesh. One flesh that cannot be divided into pieces. One flesh that cannot be separated by man. One flesh that might be fertile and multiply. One flesh that has one faith, one dream, one goal, and one God.

Writer's Note
Marriage is not for all. But it is God's gift. There's no such a perfect marriage nor perfect couple. However, marriage can be successful if both the couple build trust and honesty. They also learn to forgive one another as part of marriage growth.
Marriage is a sacred union in which the couple enter into the covenant. Their love is sealed and strengthened by God's Love.
