Last updated: June 2, 2026
Welcome to Leave Then Cleave. We are grateful you are here.
The content on this website, including our podcast, articles, books, workshops, emails, videos, downloadable resources, social media content, and any related materials, is provided for educational, reflective, faith-centered, and informational purposes only.
By using this website or engaging with our content, you acknowledge and agree to the following disclaimers.
Not Therapy, Legal Advice, Medical Advice, or Pastoral Counseling
Leave Then Cleave provides faith-centered resources, personal reflections, relationship education, and general support for individuals and couples navigating marriage, family systems, boundaries, healing, forgiveness, reconciliation, and related topics.
Our content is not therapy, mental health treatment, legal advice, medical advice, financial advice, or pastoral counseling. It should not be used as a substitute for professional support from a licensed therapist, attorney, physician, clergy leader, or other qualified professional.
Although we may discuss sensitive topics such as family conflict, estrangement, manipulation, emotional safety, spiritual pressure, trauma, abuse, marriage, and boundaries, our content is general in nature and may not apply to your specific circumstances.
No Professional Relationship Created
Use of this website, listening to our podcast, reading our books or articles, attending a workshop, subscribing to our emails, purchasing resources, sending us a message, or engaging with us on social media does not create a therapist-client, attorney-client, physician-patient, clergy-penitent, pastoral counseling, or professional advisory relationship.
Any coaching, consulting, or paid support we may offer is educational and faith-centered in nature unless otherwise clearly stated in a separate written agreement.
Personal Responsibility
You are responsible for your own choices, relationships, boundaries, safety, spiritual decisions, and professional support.
Our content is intended to help you reflect, learn, and consider principles that may be helpful, but you should use your own judgment and seek qualified professional guidance when making significant decisions about your marriage, family relationships, safety, finances, legal matters, health, or spiritual life.
We do not guarantee any particular outcome, including reconciliation, healing, family repair, improved relationships, marriage restoration, emotional safety, or spiritual clarity.
Crisis, Abuse, and Safety
If you are in immediate danger, experiencing abuse, facing threats, considering self-harm, or dealing with a crisis situation, please contact emergency services, law enforcement, a crisis hotline, a licensed mental health professional, a domestic violence resource, or another qualified professional immediately.
Our content is not designed to provide crisis intervention, safety planning, emergency counseling, or abuse response services.
If you are experiencing abuse or coercive control, please seek support from qualified professionals and trusted local resources who can help you assess your safety and options.
Faith-Based Content
Leave Then Cleave is created from a Christian, faith-centered perspective. We may discuss scripture, discipleship, marriage, covenants, forgiveness, repentance, reconciliation, boundaries, and spiritual growth.
Our content reflects our personal experiences, beliefs, study, and perspectives. It should not be understood as official doctrine, institutional direction, or a substitute for personal revelation, spiritual discernment, or counsel from trusted faith leaders.
We encourage you to seek God, study scripture, pray, counsel with trusted leaders and professionals when appropriate, and act according to your own conscience and circumstances.
Relationship and Family Content
Many of the topics we discuss involve complicated family dynamics, including estrangement, no contact, in-law conflict, manipulation, guilt, pressure, spiritual abuse, emotional immaturity, and unhealthy relationship patterns.
Because every situation is different, our content should not be interpreted as telling you what you must do in your own family, marriage, or relationships. We do not encourage unnecessary division, retaliation, hostility, or avoidance of appropriate accountability.
Our goal is to help people pursue truth, healing, wisdom, emotional safety, accountability, repentance, repair, and Christlike love.

Any donations, contributions, or financial support given through this website help support the creation of Leave Then Cleave content, resources, podcasts, videos, workshops, and related work.
Unless specifically stated otherwise, Leave Then Cleave is not representing itself as a tax-exempt nonprofit organization, and contributions should not be assumed to be tax-deductible. Please consult your own tax professional regarding any questions about tax treatment.
Financial support does not create a professional relationship, coaching relationship, counseling relationship, or entitlement to individualized advice or services.
