1) Oneness in Marriage Pillar #1, Leaving

Leaving family; Core loyalty, sever, cut, or untie

2) Oneness in Marriage Pillar #2, Cleaving Gen 2:24

Bonding, tying of the knot. Soft heart clinging.

3) Oneness in Marriage Pillar #3, Weaving Gen 2:23

Bone of my Bone, two independent become one.

4) Oneness in Marriage Pillar #4, Receiving Gen 2:25

No shame, open with each other.
