For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and they will become one flesh. Genesis 2:24 (NIV)
My reflection of the verse
If a man marries a woman he should live with his wife until both of them have children and grows old. God knows that it will be best for them if they live on their own house while starting a family. I think the reason for this is to avoid conflicts with in-laws and for the couple to learn how to deal with their own problems or learn how to live a married life. It's not also ideal if the couple live with their respective families because there is an idiom that says "familiarity breeds contempt". The respect for families should always be there and God doesn't want couple to break just because of family issues. Rather God wants couples to live a happy and fulfilling life.
