Marcos 10

4 One of them replied, "Moses permitted that a man may write on paper his reason for divorcing his wife, give this paper to her, and then send her away." 5 Jesus said to them, "It was because your ancestors stubbornly wanted just what they desired that Moses wrote that law for your ancestors, and you are just like them! 6 Remember that he also wrote that, when God first created people, he made one man, and one woman to become that man’s wife. 7 That explains why God said, ‘When a man and woman marry, they should no longer live with their fathers and mothers after they marry. 8 Instead, the two of them shall live together, and they shall become so closely united [MET] that they are like one person.’ Therefore, although the people who marry were two separate persons before, God regards them as one person now, so he wants them to remain married. 9 Because that is true, a man must not separate from his wife whom God has joined to him, because God’s plan is for them to remain together!"
