<p>10:7<i> For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother and shall cling to his wife- </i>The cleaving or clinging spoken of in Genesis is a process; this is an example of how God can work directly upon the heart and psychology of persons to unite them.

The clinging together is part of how God joins married, believing couples together (:9).</p>
