This unity reflects the closeness of the marriage bond, which Paul describes using the words from Genesis: For this cause shall a man leave his father and mother, and shall be joined unto his wife, and the two shall be one flesh (Genesis 2:24; Ephesians 5:31 ). Marriage is a unique and deep union designed by God.
