Ephesians 5:31
“For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh.”
Verse in context — Ephesians 5
29
For no man ever hated his own flesh; but nourishes and cherishes it, even as the Lord also does the assembly;
30
because we are members of his body, of his flesh and bones.
31
For this cause a man will leave his father and mother, and will be joined to his wife. The two will become one flesh.
32
This mystery is great, but I speak concerning Christ and of the assembly.
33
Nevertheless each of you must also love his own wife even as himself; and let the wife see that she respects her husband.
