What does this mean?
Does that mean that your parents take the back seat and the one you married becomes more important?
Please Explain!

Yes that is exactly what it means. A man she leave his parents and cling to his wife and they shall be one flesh. That simply means that all decisons are made together and mom or dad can not be in ya business. You both come first in each other lives. There is a song that says flesh of my flesh, bone of my bone, we are one and that is the best way to put it. Each other needs come before mom, dad, sister, brother, friends and all. There is a simple way to still hold your parents close to your heart. It is not like you are never going to have time for them. It just simply means that your priority is your husband. Mom and dad have raised you. I cant see someone's husband sayin"oh no you cant go see your parents or help them out" come on then you wouldnt be marrying someone that cold hearted. Things are just done out of respect for your husband and based on both of your opinions and decisions.

YES! When you marry you are officially LEAVING your family of origin and making your spouse your new family. Ideally, you would like to have a blended happy extended family, but when you marry you should be putting your spouse ahead of your parents.

You and your wife have just started your family and life together. You go where your career leads you both....together.
Parents on both sides will always be your family. But will be your extended/seconary family.......you and your together is your main family.

hell no blood is always thicker than water family is always first. but there may come times when you have to ride a situation out and sometimes you may have to go down with wife/husband because they are right but moms and dad are always # 1 gl
