31 (A)For this cause shall a man leave father and mother, and shall [a]cleave to his wife, and they twain shall be one flesh.
32 [b]This is a great secret, but I speak concerning Christ, and concerning the Church.

Ephesians 5:31-33
New International Version
31 “For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.”[a](A) 32 This is a profound mystery—but I am talking about Christ and the church. 33 However, each one of you also must love his wife(B) as he loves himself, and the wife must respect her husband.
