God made male and female from the beginning of creation. For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and unite with his wife. The two shall become one flesh. They are no longer two, but one flesh.

Nevertheless, to avoid fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband. Let the husband fulfill his marital duties to his wife and also the wife to her husband. The wife has no authority over her own body, but her husband does. Likewise also the husband has no authority over his own body, but his wife does.


Pharisees came to him. They tested him, asking: Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife for any reason?

The two shall become one flesh. read more.
So they are no longer two, but one flesh. What God has joined together, let no man pull apart (separate)! They asked him: Why then did Moses command to give a certificate of divorce, to send her away? He answered: Moses allowed you to send your wives away because of your hardness of heart. It was not allowed from the beginning. I tell you, whoever divorces his wife, except for fornication, and marries another, commits adultery. And he who marries her when she is divorced, commits adultery. The disciples said to him: This being the case between a man and his wife, it is better not to marry. He said: This does not apply to everyone, only to those God has given it to. For there are men who, from birth, were without sex. There are some who were made that way by men. There are others who have made themselves so for the kingdom of heaven. He who is able to accept this let him accept it.

He wrote this commandment because of your hard hearts, Jesus replied. God made male and female from the beginning of creation. For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and unite with his wife. The two shall become one flesh. They are no longer two, but one flesh. That which God has joined together let not man take apart (separate). In the house the disciples asked him again about this matter. He said: He who divorces his wife and marries another commits adultery against her. If she divorces her husband and marries another, she commits adultery.

Do you not know that he who is joined to a prostitute is one (united with her) body? For he said: Two will be one flesh.
