It means that he, to a certain degree, ceases to be a son and becomes a husband.
The point is that a man should be mature enough to assume the role as the head of his own household and be a good husband without having to seek the shelter of his parents, because he should either be ready for the responsibility, or grow into it.

If you finish reading, it also says that they should become one flesh. When two people get married, the husband should make his wife the number one person in his life, they are to become as one. This is where the sanctity of marriage comes from. The parents are not supposed to come in between the husband and wife or before the wife...

The funny thing about the word cleave is it means both to divide and adhere. In this case, adhere to his wife.
"stick together like a stamp and a letter"

it means when a man gets married he needs be a man get a job to support his family, and to stand on his own with his wife, honor his parents like the bible says but family decissions should be made between him and his wife, and he should love her with his whole heart willing to lay down his life for her, love her unconditionally and not be out fooling around with other women. he makes a commitment that she (his wife) will be his one and only true love and helpmate. and not expect his mom and dad to make all of his decissions. he should take up house away from his parents and he and his wife should raise their family together, with God's help.

it means when a man gets married he needs to stand on his own two feet and be a man, and not expect his mom and dad to run his life any more (yet still honor his parents like the bible says) and that family decissions should be made between him and his wife, and he should love her with his whole being, willing to love her unconditionally holding only to her and not be out fooling around with other women once he is married. he makes a commitment that she (his wife) will be his one and only love.

He should put you first in his life and leave his childish connections with his family behind and become a man! When he married you he became as one with you. You are his family now and he should honor that commitment! If there is an issue with the family he needs to take a stand on your behalf and let them know you are first in his life.

It means that him and his wife should live together separetly from his parents as well as the wife and raise a family together, but still have communication with both parents. This is a must in relationships.

It means that you should no longer constantly depend on our parents as we did when we were kids. That the husband and wife should be able to support themselves finacially, phsically, spriritually. Not totally saying that if you need help you shouldn't go to your parents but now you have to depend more on each other and God.
