I've always wondered what he meant by that. I think its Mark 10:6-9, 1 John 4:7, and Matthew 22:2. The 2 heart heaven!

He wanted to say father, mother, brother, sister, and children don't mean anything above your wife. I can't find him saying leave your wife anywhere..



Its for Husband and Wife. Or Adam and Eve. 2 hearts in love.

1) And
Mark 10 to back this up. (Douay -Rheims)

6But from the beginning of the creation, God made them male and female. 7For this cause, a man shall leave his father and mother and shall cleave to his wife. 8And they two shall be in one flesh. Therefore now they are not two, but one flesh. 9What therefore God hath joined together, let no man put asunder.

2)
1 John 4:7
Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God.

3) Matthew22:2 The kingdom of heaven is likened to a king who made a marriage for his son.
I knew its was a heaven of 2 hearts!

This would imply that God also hand picks two people and brings them together. A sort of Predestination.

I couldn't bear talking to her Mother .:) I don't think there is any Mother in laws in Heaven.

Sorry you don't have a great mother-in-law. Mine was very bossy when we first got married but she changed and grew to become another mother to me.

I think the reason for so many divorces these days is the inability to tolerate the other person.

God doesn't want things coming between him and you. Just like he doesn't want riches to be more important than him (Jesus meeting the rich man). Basically he wants someone totally sold out to him - mind, body, soul.
