| Genesis 2:24 | *Wherefore a man shall leave father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife:** and they shall be two in one flesh. Matthew 19:5.; Mark 10:7.; 1 Corinthians 6:16. | One flesh, connected by the closest ties of union, producing children, the blood of both. St. Paul, Ephesians 5:23, discloses to us the mystery of Christ's union with his church for ever, prefigured by this indissoluble marriage of our first parents. (Calmet) |
