Leave and Cleave

I have been doing some pre-marital counseling with Steve and Kathleen Mueller, who are awesome and kind people. We have been going through a book called Preparing for Marriage. The title speaks for its self. We recently were talking about how in Genesis 2:24 it says that a man shall leave his father and mother and shall cleave to his wife. I am not married yet, but I am starting to practice that. My natural instinct when I am in an emergancy is to call dad. Now days, that is starting to change to "Call Jonathan". Tonight I got out of work and my car was not starting. I called Jonathan. He came to my rescue. Then I call Dad. I thought about how lucky (and spolied;) ) I have always been to have my Dad come and take care of my car, and pay for it too. I decided that its about time I took care of things myself. I called my dad back and told him we could take care of it. This is a big step for me. Leave and cleave.
