Ephesians 5:31-33

The Voice

³¹ “And this is the reason a man leaves his father and his mother and is united with his wife; the two come together as one flesh.”^{[a] 32} There is a great mystery reflected in this Scripture, and I say that it has to do with the marriage of the Anointed One and the church. ³³ Nevertheless, each husband is to love and protect his own wife as if she were his very heart, and each wife is to respect her own husband.
