It is interesting that God was able to set guidelines according to our sin natures before we even had them! Laura, I have to agree with you.

I believe that husbands need to leave their "mommy" in order to be able to cleave to their wife. A husband who is trying to please his mom and his wife can be a miserable husband indeed (and may end up with a miserable wife)! I'm blessed not to have that situation, but have seen several situations where it would greatly benefit the marriage for that mama's boy to leave and cleave!! God knows us so well, our weaknesses and all. I've found that consistently through His word He gives instruction toward those specific weaknesses. I believe this could be one of those instances. I'm a Believer! Laura Ety –

One the first point, I am still trying to find a scriptural description of man as the initiator, and woman as the responder. These concepts really help explain quite a few things we find in the Bible. Madame, those are very thoughtful reasons and I have to agree with you.
