So ought men to love their wives as their own bodies. He that loves his wife loves himself.
Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cling to (hold onto; stick to) his wife: and they shall be one flesh.
What? know you2f not that he which is joined to an prostitute is one body? for two, says he, shall be one flesh.
What therefore God-Theos has joined together, let not man put asunder.
