About this Episode

💍 What does it really mean to “cleave” to your spouse?
When I first heard that phrase, I pictured a meat cleaver—something that cuts apart. So why does God use a word like that to describe the deepest kind of unity?

In this episode, we’ll explore the surprising meaning of the word cleave, why it matters, and how the temple teaches us about Christ at the center of marriage. We'll also see how Christ cleaves to each of us--no matter what.
