MATTHEW—NOTE ON Matthew 19:6 What... God has joined together implies that marriage is not merely a human agreement but a relationship established by God. From the moment they are married, the husband and wife are unified in a way that is different from all other human relationships. Being “one flesh” includes the sexual union of a husband and wife (see Genesis 2:24), but it also means that their primary human loyalty is now to each other, before anyone else (Genesis 2:24).
