Jesus refers to Scripture to make his case, as did the prophet Malachi before him (Mal. 2:10-16). Jesus quoted Genesis 1:17 to affirm that God made male and female with the implication that they would be joined together, and then he quoted Genesis 2:24 to remind everyone that the two would be one flesh. Genesis explained, "For this reason, a man leaves his father and his mother and cleaves to his wife, and the two of them become one flesh." Let look at the word "flesh" in the Old Testament passage does not just mean sexual union, but a union of their lives, their hopes, dreams, ambitions, plans, and sexual activity. They would become one in every sense; and to destroy that ruined more than a sexual union. Join us from the lesson series:"Why Do We Break Up Marriages And Enter Into A Second One?
