Thematic Bible: Husbands and wives becoming one


Thematic Bible

He replied, "Have you never read that He who created them male and female from the beginning said, Hence a man shall leave his father and mother, and cleave to his wife, and the pair shall be one flesh? So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What God has joined, then, man must not separate."

What God has joined, then, man must not separate."

Therefore shall a man leave father and mother and cleave to his wife, and the pair shall be one flesh.
