Mark 10:8
6 However, from the beginning of creation, ‘God made them male and female.’
7 ‘For this reason a man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife,
and the two will become one flesh.’ So they are no longer two, but one flesh.
9 Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate.”
10 When they were back inside the house, the disciples asked Jesus about this matter.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
