Therefore what God has joined together, let no one separate. | But from the beginning of creation, God created them male and female. For this reason a man shall leave his father and mother, and the two shall become one flesh; so they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, no person is to separate. |

So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore, what God has joined together, no person is to separate.” |
