Leave Then Cleave helps Christians navigate difficult family relationships, boundaries, estrangement, healing, and marriage with faith and integrity. We're Jon and Ashley Lefrandt. After our own family story took a turn we never expected, we started talking honestly about how to love your family without losing yourself — or your marriage — in the process. Here you'll find conversations about healthy boundaries, dysfunctional family systems, scapegoating, family betrayal, estrangement, reconciliation, grief, and what Scripture actually says about honoring parents. And because our story starts with Genesis 2:24, we talk a lot about what it means to leave and cleave. Asking "Is no contact biblical?" or "Does forgiveness require reconciliation?" You're in the right place. New here? Start with the START HERE playlist. Free chapter of Christlike Boundaries: https://leavethencleave.com/christlike-boundaries-free-chapter
