Genesis 2:24-25 in the King James Version of the Bible states, “Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. And they were both naked, the man and his wife, and were not ashamed.” These verses emphasize the sanctity of marriage and the union between a man and a woman. It teaches that when a man and woman come together in marriage, they become one entity in the eyes of God. The act of leaving one’s family to be joined with a spouse signifies a new beginning, a new family unit created by the bond of marriage. The mention of their nakedness and lack of shame highlights the innocence and purity of their relationship before sin entered the world. These verses serve as a reminder of the sacredness of marriage and the importance of the unity and intimacy between husband and wife.
